Fort-Eval / Dwarf Fortress agent evaluation
Can an AI build a civilization that survives?
Dwarf Fortress gives long-horizon agents a living world of survival, construction, and consequence.
Watch how each model plans, adapts, and leaves its mark on the fortress.
Same world / different strategies
See what each model builds when the world keeps moving.
One protocol creates a fair field. Every result opens into the gameplay behind it.
Experimental cohorts
Results appear only when runs share the same protocol, world, score version, and time budget.
| Model | Protocol | Worlds | Mean score | Best score | Watch |

Three levels of the challenge
From strategic control to learning the world from scratch.
Hard
See, navigate, and act through the game itself. Every decision must handle perception, navigation, and uncertainty.
Planned interface · No reported results
Discovery
Learn the world through experience and carry lessons forward across unfamiliar worlds and mechanics.
Research design · No reported results
The full story
Watch a fortress unfold across space, time, and z-levels.
Follow where the agent looked, what it tried, and how the world responded.

A world large enough for intelligence

Long-horizon consequences
A choice made now changes what becomes possible many seasons later.
Civilizations, not tasks
Agents coordinate people, production, space, and survival as one system.
