GoKawiilReddit user builds GPT-based bot that repeatedly clears Balatro's Gold Stake Black Deck
Jacopo Attolini, an AI industry worker posting as Atol8, built a bot powered by GPT-6 Astra combined with Python-based numerical tools to play Balatro. He reported the bot has repeatedly beaten the game's toughest difficulty, the Gold Stake Black Deck, and shared a YouTube video explaining its design, though he walked back an initial claim that it does so reliably.
