Massively multi-player game played by talking to an LLM

The initial idea for the game came during the final day of Game AI school in Cambridge. There, we had a Jam where we explored the idea of using LLMs as a game engine for fights. We then built a full web version in just a week. There is no need to register or pay to play. Test it out!

I wanted to learn more about RAG implementations, so I built something to solve the constant digging through manuals whenever we play a game. It's fairly simplistic, but actually has worked pretty well for some of these conflicts. Everythings Open Source on GitHub if you're curious (or have ideas), and I'd love to hear feedback from fellow boardgamers!

Hi HN, I've been working with LLMs in production for a while both as a solo dev building apps for clients and working at an AI startup. The one thing that always was a pain was to pay OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic a few dollars a month just for me to say "test" or have a CI runner validate some UI code. So I built this server called ChunkBack, that mocks the popular llm provider's functionality but allows you to type in a deterministic language: `SAY "cheese"` or `TOOLCALL "tool_name" {} "tool response"` I've had to work in some test environments and give good results for experimenting…

Hey HN! When I started looking into LLMs and agents for software development and introducing them at work, I quickly realised that a person new to the topic faces a real barrage: - all the hype (AGI, engineers getting replaced by AI etc.) - conflicting opinions in virtually every discussion—for every person saying they’ve 10x-ed their productivity, there is a comment decrying LLMs as an utter failure - a lot of jargon (MoE, MCP, RAG, distillation, quantisation etc. etc.) - a profusion of models, IDEs/IDE extensions, CLI agents, other tools etc. Sorting through all of this can be quite…

I wanted to create an LLM game benchmark that put this generation of frontier LLMs' top skill, coding, on full display. Ten years ago, a team released a game called Screeps. It was described as an "MMO RTS sandbox for programmers." In Screeps, human players write javascript strategies that get executed in the game's environment. The Screeps paradigm, writing code and having it execute in a real-time game environment, is well suited for an LLM benchmark. Drawing on a version of the Screeps open source API, LLM Skirmish pits LLMs head-to-head in a series of 1v1 real-time strategy games.

LLMStack is a low-code platform that can be used to build LLM apps, chatbots and integrate AI experiences into existing products/workflows. It comes with everything out of the box that one needs to build LLM apps locally. It can also be used in a multi-tenant setting, making it available for everyone to use in an enterprise. Some highlights of the platform: - Chain multiple LLM models allowing for complex pipelines - Includes a vector database and necessary connectors to help enrich LLM responses with private data - App templates tailored to specific use cases to quickly build LLM apps…

Hi I've created a text-based RPG game in which you can experience different adventures and play interesting characters while the AI acts as a real time DM/story teller. There are multiple ways to interact with AI: 1) Input free will move 2) Input default move (affects resources) 3) Post a question to DM Also one more cool feature is that you can create your own adventure via simple form. Add scenes, add characters and make it public so other players are able to test it. I also plan to have 'competetive' side where players will pay some small fee to creators in crypto depending on…

Hi I am Jan, CTO @ Pathway. A use case we have been working on with LLMs is to let people know when an answer to their query changes due to revisions of source documents. Obviously, we want to avoid periodically re-computing all queries for the LLM. Why I think it’s cool? - We don’t spin in a loop to repeat with the LLM. - Alerts are LLM-deduplicated - no spamming users with typo fixes - And the best - our framework, Pathway takes care of handling the updates, the example looks nearly like a regular, static RAG chatbot. More context + GIF of how it works for Google Drive document alerts:…

I’ve been building LLM tooling for a small VC fund and found myself explaining the same mental model over and over to non-technical people around me: how a stateless LLM becomes a chatbot, how tool use works, what an agent is mechanically, and why context windows shape all of it. I never found a guide that covered that full chain at the level I wanted, so I wrote one. It’s nine short chapters, each building on the last. Deliberately simplified: the goal is a useful mental model, not a textbook. Feedback, corrections, and contributions welcome: github.com/ymyke/aiaiai

Every time I wanted to use LLMs in my existing pipelines the integration was very bloated, complex, and too slow. This is why I created a lightweight library that works just like scikit-learn, the flow generally follows a pipeline-like structure where you “fit” (learn) a skill from sample data or an instruction set, then “predict” (apply the skill) to new data, returning structured results. High-Level Concept Flow Your Data --> Load Skill / Learn Skill --> Create Tasks --> Run Tasks --> Structured Results --> Downstream Steps And the bast part: Every step can be saved and reused as…

I've been building agentic apps for some large Fortune 500 companies (T-Mobile, Twilio, etc.) and developed a mental model that serves as a practical guide in building agentic apps: separate the high-level agent specific logic from low-level platform capabilities. I call it the L-MM: the Logical Mental Model for LLM applications. This mental model has not only been tremendously helpful in building agents but also helping customers think about the development process - so when I am done with a consulting engagement they can move faster across the stack and enable engineers and platform teams…

LLM agents rely on tool calls — but tool responses are huge. Gmail, CRMs, and APIs return bloated JSON LLMs choke on large responses You only need 2–3 fields, but frameworks give you zero control Toolflow is an AI-native framework to fix this: * Filter tool responses before they hit the LLM * Context modes: `minimal`, `full`, `custom`, or `ai` * Composable TypeScript tool registry GitHub: [https://github.com/dksingh1997/toolflow](https://github.com/dksingh1997/toolflow) Would love feedback — especially from those building with LLMs in production.

LLM Application development is extremely iterative, more so than any other types of development. This is because in addition to all the activities involved in regular application development, we also need to make the LLM Application accurate and reduce hallucination. To improve performance, we need to trial and error various combinations of LLM models, prompt templates (e.g., few-shot, chain-of-thought), prompt context with different RAG architecture, try different agent architecture, and more. There are thousands of permutations to try. We need to be able to easily experiment with these…
