games have long been training gyms, but loved @quietnning's approach here to push agents to figure out how unfamiliar things work and discover the rules, beyond just getting good at exploiting a familiar setup. check out the work!

Jonathan Blow’s latest puzzle game Order of the Sinking Star is finally released!
A decade ago, The Witness came out; as a tribute to this legendary puzzle game, we introduce our work today: Witness-Inspired Testbed of Novel Environments with Symbolic Structure (WITNESS).
We show that interactive discovery of unseen rules in unfamiliar environments is a major difficulty for frontier models like Opus-5 and GPT-6, while smaller models further struggle with rule-based execution.
Our experiments also indicate that RL on hidden-rule puzzles transfers to broader rules and real-world tasks beyond training.
