Assuming you don't account for reflections, rotations, and 'unreachable' gamestates where a player wins and you continue to mark boxes.

It's just 3^9, right? 9 boxes, either X,O, or blank? We're only at 19,683 game states and would trim down from here if we account for the cases above.

Exactly, but then we may as well say "don't solve this with an LLM" which sort of kills the conversation altogether and that's not my goal. :)

Oh, im sorry! I was just trying to give a quick perspective of how small that tic-tac-toe data-set actually is. Not suggest against the idea!

[rkomorn]

Oh no worries at all. :)
