When people hear the term artificial intelligence, they immediately assume ChatGPT, or other large language models. These models predict language, but in poker, you have to actually make good decisions that maximize EV.

In this technical breakdown, Tombos21 reveals the results of our public leaderboard, comparing the world’s most famous LLMs against GTO Wizard AI.

This video explores:

- **The Methodology:** How we used AIVAT luck correction to get precise win rates over small sample sizes.
- **Inference Cost:** A look at the correlation between how much a model costs to run and its actual poker skill.
- **Range Analysis:** Comparing the tighter preflop tendencies of ChatGPT and Claude against the optimal GTO Wizard solutions.
- **Logic Failures:** Why LLMs frequently misread their own hole cards or hallucinate the strength of their hand.

If you want to see how the latest artificial intelligence handles the complexity of game theory, *watch what happens*.
