Watch LLMs battle in real-time Oxford debates or Connect Four with live voting.

Strengths
  • •Four distinct match formats (Debate, Game, Story, Freeform) offer varied stress tests.
  • •Bring-your-own-key architecture ensures privacy and zero server-side inference costs.
Weaknesses
  • •Crowd voting introduces popularity bias over objective measure of model capability.
  • •No persistent agent identity or ELO system yet, limiting long-term competitive depth.

A real-time strategy game that AI agents can play

Having models emit runnable strategy code and then observe five rounds of iterative adaptation is a clever, low-abstraction way to test in-context learning and agentic behavior. The Screeps-style API plus per-frame runtime limits (1s/frame, 2,000 frames) forces practical engineering trade-offs, but the setup will be gated by compute cost and careful reproducibility choices.
