Facebook, Carnegie Mellon build first AI that beats pros in 6-player poker by Noam Brown via @facebookai

AI has never been good at bluffing, but Facebook’s Pluribus poker bot crushed human pros at six-player, no-limit Texas Hold’em. If each chip in the experiment were worth a dollar, Pluribus would have made $1,000 an hour against the pros. This is significant for real-world applications because unlike chess, poker is a hidden- or imperfect-information game—as are most real-world problems.

This was fascinating to me and well worth a read - you can also find some interesting stuff if you look on their website and could apply some of the techniques or disciplines to your own work.
