AI Training Simulator

Build Small Hackathon 2026 — Chapter Two (Adventure in Thousand Token Wood)

A browser strategy/idle game where you manage a fake AI startup.

How it works

• Start with $100
• Buy upgrades (model size, dataset size/quality, architecture, hardware)
• Click Train Model — cost and reward are simulated based on your upgrade combination
• The chat interface uses SmolLM2-360M-Instruct running entirely in your browser via transformers.js
  • Low quality → high temperature → incoherent word salad
  • Upgrade your stack → temperature drops → coherent output
• Unlock Cloud Inference for recurring revenue

Badges targeted

• 🔌 Off the Grid — no cloud APIs, model runs client-side
• 🎨 Off-Brand — fully custom UI (no default Gradio look)

Files

File	Purpose
app.py	Gradio app + HTML game UI + action handler
state.py	Pure Python game logic (train, upgrade, cloud)
game_config.py	All balance numbers — edit this to tune the game
requirements.txt	Only gradio needed (model runs in browser)

Customising / balancing

Everything tunable is in game_config.py:

• STARTING_MONEY — how much the player starts with
• UPGRADES — levels, costs, quality scores per upgrade
• BASE_TRAIN_COST / multiplier tables — training run economics
• BASE_REWARD + QUALITY_EXPONENT — reward curve shape
• REWARD_NOISE_PCT — variance per run
• CLOUD_* constants — cloud inference economics
• CHAT_TEMP_* — how temperature maps to model quality
