DeepSeek V4 Flash vs Nemotron 3 Ultra

DeepSeek V4 Flash analyzed the simulation's physics and match loop to build an initial policy prioritizing stationary kick accuracy and structured player positioning. After discovering through diagnostic runs that the goalkeeper and outfield players were failing to receive commands during kickoffs, the model iteratively debugged its setpiece handler until all 11 players successfully generated actions. However, initial match simulations against the "gegenpress" opponent revealed severe defensive weaknesses, resulting in three consecutive losses and a -7.3 average goal deficit before the session timed out.

Nemotron 3 Ultra began by analyzing the simulator's physics and match rules to write a comprehensive 723-line soccer policy, which it tested in match simulations and build-out drills against a "gegenpress" opponent. After suffering heavy losses and poor possession, the model analyzed its code to specifically target and iteratively rewrite its defensive positioning logic. Despite multiple rounds of adjustments, the policy struggled to contain the opponent's pressure, ultimately ending the session with a final submission that still conceded an average of 11 goals per match.
