Welcome back for UTMIST AI Squared 2025 Fall Split! Centered around groups of participants competing to design the best AI agent in a custom platform fighting game, AI Squared brings together individuals of all skill levels in a encouraging learning environment filled with fun and excitement!

There will be workshops, speakers, as well as the grand finals. The tournament will be held in an double elimination bracket format of consecutive rounds of agents facing off 1v1 until the winner is crowned. Who will stand tall? Will it be you?
