Reply to comment by This_Objective7808 in [D] We're the Meta AI research team behind CICERO, the first AI agent to achieve human-level performance in the game Diplomacy. We’ll be answering your questions on December 8th starting at 10am PT. Ask us anything! by MetaAI_Official

I loved this problem! The average human player sends way too few messages compared to the best human players, so the challenge was how far to push this before it became.... weird. So it wasn't just infinite messaging either. I'll let others answer how that was technically achieved, but this was an underrated challenge to achieving great play. What a great question! -AG

CICERO sent/received an average of 292 messages per game (the 5277 is the number of messages it sent over the course of 40 games). This figure was comparable to its human counterparts. As Andrew points out, this was quite an interesting technical problem to tackle — there are real risks to sending too many messages (annoying your allies, + the additional risk of degenerate text spirals), but missing opportunities to collaborate by not sending enough messages can also be devastating. -ED
