01Summary
Scarlet Beast Poker is a multi-table poker platform (ring games and tournaments, hand histories, player accounts) with web, desktop and Android clients, a public API, and single sign-on shared with the rest of the Scarlet Beast estate.
Hiss is the AI behind the house play: nine years of solo work, six generations of neural networks, computer vision that reads a live table, and a promotion gate that decides which model ships. What transfers is the whole apparatus that produces the next model, not just today's weights.
02Scope
Included
- Source for the game server, the web, desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and Android clients, and the public API with its documentation
- Hiss: trained weights, the training pipeline, the evaluation arena, the opponent models calibrated on real hands, and the promotion gate
- The house bot fleet automation (systemd services) and the operator console
- Domain, brand, download hub and developer portal
- A 30, 60 or 90-day operating handover with the engineer who built it
Not included
- Gaming licences. None transfer; real-money operation is the buyer's regulatory work.
- Any claim of a live win rate against real players. We have not measured one we would stand behind.

05Current status
As of
- The platform is live at poker.scarletbeast.com, with desktop and Android builds on its download page. The 30-bot house fleet runs there under systemd.
- Measured in our arena against opponents calibrated to 142,000 real hands: the previous champion lost about 32 big blinds per 100 hands; training it to fold weak hands facing a bet brought that to about −4.
- A precomputed CFR "blueprint" layer measured +20 to +28 bb/100 in heads-up arena play, but close to zero in six-max, which is the game the fleet actually plays. We report both.
- On 2026-09-16 we found and fixed a bug that had stopped the neural-network bots acting for eight weeks while the tables played on.
- The six-max Deep CFR research run (M6) finished its 3,000 iterations on 2026-09-14. Its policy is still being evaluated before anything from it reaches the tables.
