Researchers developed a GPU-accelerated conflict-based search (GACBS) algorithm to solve the multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) ...

"With AoT, the LLM can be trained to go through the problem-solving steps like a traditional pathfinding algorithm would, taking just the necessary backtracking steps to arrive at the destination ...

They constantly re-route and find the shortest path to their target, which has inspired the creation of efficient pathfinding algorithms in robotics.

The trick is to flip the usual pathfinding routine on its head -- rather than plan a course based on the obstacles, the algorithms look for free spaces and string them together to create a safe route.

The results show that any hypothetical path-finding algorithm that doesn’t blindly guess would have to temporarily lose track of the entrance to have any chance of succeeding.

Wyatt goes into further detail on StarCraft's grid design similarities with the WarCraft games and how pathfinding was affected during development. It's a truly fascinating read .
