Project Eve: Claude Plays MMORPGs

Summary

Anthropic's Fellows Program study tested Claude models as traders in EVE Online, a player-driven sci-fi MMORPG whose market mirrors real exchange mechanics. Using a simulator replaying actual 2024–2026 order books, newer Claude models grew capital steadily while rule-based strategies lost money, mostly through low-risk spread capture.
