Show HN: TetrisBench – Gemini Flash reaches 66% win rate on Tetris against Opus

It would be more interesting to make it build a chess engine and compare it against Stockfish. The chess engine should be a standalone no-dependencies C/C++ program that fits in NNN lines of code.

Gemini 3 Flash is at a very nice point along the price-performance curve. A good workhorse model, while supplementing it with Opus 4.5 / Gemini 3 Pro for more complex tasks.

Very cool! I am a good Tetris player (in the top 10% of players) and wanted to give brick yeeting against an LLM a spin.

Some feedback: - Knowing the scoring system is helpful when going 1v1 high score

- Use a different randomization system, I kept getting starved for pieces like I. True random is fine, throwing a copy of every piece into a bag and then drawing them one by one is better (7 bag), nearly random with some lookbehind to prevent getting a string of ZSZS is solid, too (TGM randomizer)

- Piece rotation feels left-biased, and keeps making me mis-drop, like the T pieces shift to the left if you spin 4 times. Check out https://tetris.wiki/images/thumb/3/3d/SRS-pieces.png/300px-S... or https://tetris.wiki/images/b/b5/Tgm_basic_ars_description.pn... for examples of how other games are doing it.

- Clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation is important for human players, we can only hit so many keys per second

- re-mappable keys are also appreciated

Nice work, I'm going to keep watching.

The worst thing is that the delayed auto shift is slightly off and it messes my finesse. (I used to play competitive tetris as well, but between getting older -> worse reflexes and vision problems I can't really play anymore. Weirdly, finesse muscle memory is still working.)

I don't think the goal is to make a PvP simulator, it would be too easy to cheese or do weird strategies. It's mostly for LLMs to play.

arendtio•44m ago
There are some concepts clashing here.

I mean, if you let the LLM build a testris bot, it would be 1000x better than what the LLMs are doing. So yes, it is fun to win against an AI, but to be fair against such processing power, you should not be able to win. It is only possible because LLMs are not built for such tasks.

It's actually 80% against Opus, 66% average against the 5 models it's tested with.

I imagine this is because Tetris is visual and the Gemini models are strong visually.
