Elie Bakouch adds five open models to Blood on the Clocktower benchmark
Overview
Elie Bakouch added five open models to Dwarkesh Patel's Blood on the Clocktower benchmark, a social deduction game where models lie, bluff and try to catch each other.
Kimi K3.1 Pro ranked best among the open models, just below GPT-5.5 among closed models.
Bakouch says models that play the game well also identify evil players more accurately when reading only the public transcript. He suggests this could let new models be ranked from existing games without playing new ones.
