On this page (https://excalidraw.com/#json=WrM9ViixPu2je5cVJZGCe,no_UoONhF...) linked from their twitch, it says: “ This info is all parsed directly from the RAM of the game, Claude Code is very good at this task”. I’m reading that as “we are pumping the RAM directly into the LLM”, but I could be mistaken.

I agree that's ambigiously worded. For example, I'm not sure if Claude could identify "MT MOON B1F" from the RAM data alone since internally world map areas are only known by IDs, while AI Plays Pokemon did annotate the corresponding area with a human-readable name. https://github.com/PWhiddy/PokemonRedExperiments/blob/master...

Though this RAM data could be in Claude's training data.

I suspect that means they wrote the memory parser using Claude (the Twitch description also mentions the LLM getting specific info)
