| # 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 |
