MarioGPT: Open-Ended Text2Level Generation through Large Language Models

https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.05981

DistilGPT2 (96M parameters with cross-attention) trained on 37 path-annotated levels; 88.4% of 250 generated levels completed by an A* agent versus about 31% for an LSTM baseline; text prompts for pipes, enemies, blocks, elevation; novelty search variant.
