On September 7, 2026, arXiv published the GPTNT benchmark report, evaluating the real-time collaboration capabilities of multimodal agents in the game “Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes”. The test required two agents to communicate asynchronously without turn-taking restrictions, information asymmetry, or time pressure to remove bombs. Results showed that none of the open-source and closed-source models succeeded in completing the task within the countdown. The study pointed out that existing models had critical weaknesses in state tracking, action efficiency, ambiguity handling, and error recovery. GPTNT utilized the features of game-programmed generation and an active mod community to ensure that the benchmarks continued to evolve as model capabilities improved.
