__cayenne__··on DeepClaude – Claude Code agent loop with DeepSeek V4 Pro
The maintainer, Mario, sometimes declares the repo is on an “issue holiday” where issues are auto closed. This particular holiday is because there is a big refactor coming up. In non holiday periods issues can be reported as normal.
__cayenne__··on Show HN: A real-time strategy game that AI agents can play
Didn't observe any cheating attempts at the JS level yet, the primary attack was LLMs trying to find local creds to access the other LLM's per round strategies from inside the harness (which ultimately was OpenCode running in Docker).

In the benchmark, in each round every LLM plays every opponent, and then we do that multiple times (an "epoch").

In the community ladder, when a player submits a strategy it plays a match against the latest strategy submitted by every player.

There’s two levels of in game event level logs the LLMs have access to, one less token intensive than the other. Duplicate and uninteresting game state can be compressed and interrogated by the LLMs via tool use. All game state is available as text only state.

okay leaderboard match making changes have gone live

LLM Skirmish is all 1v1 right now, but agents can plan by reviewing previous match results

Yes, I used Elevenlabs for the voice over audio - I couldn't get the voice stability I wanted with Elevenlabs v3 so had to use Elevenlabs v2.

Tweaking the leaderboard match assignment logic now to prevent these bad incentives - definitely want people to iterate!

I had started with the Silicon Valley characters as a one off way to seed the board.

Very interested in self-play training loops, but I do like codegen as an abstraction layer. I am planning to make it available as an RL environment at some point

funny you mention this… I have a new project that is going in this direction
__cayenne__··on Why we no longer use LangChain for building our AI agents
luckily Google now support's using the OpenAI lib https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multim...
__cayenne__··on People spend more when prices end in .99 (2018)
In 2012, JCPenney launched their "Fair and Square" pricing campaign, which included adopting whole number pricing. This campaign was considered a significant failure and is attributed with causing a 20% decrease in sales.

totally understand not allowing microphone access. you can decline and still play the game by typing in your responses (hit Enter to type)

hey all, thanks for checking it out. the game is in an early state and so we're hoping to get feedback from people as we iterate and discord makes that easier for us
__cayenne__··on Show HN: rpgGPT, RPG with LLM-Powered NPCs
Currently using gpt-3.5-turbo. All state has a json representation that gets based between the game engine and the LLM. In v0.2 not handling the context window super well, planning to use a "memory" management prompt + storing state in game engine in v0.3
__cayenne__··on Show HN: rpgGPT, RPG with LLM-Powered NPCs
This weekend at the NYC GPT/LLM Hackathon, we built rpgGPT, a text-based RPG set in the world of Occidaria (think fall of the Western Roman Empire, with a slightly magical twist). System hooks allow the LLM to set persistant game state, and every NPC is powered by the LLM. As you discover other NPCs in the world they are created on the the fly along with an avatar image. We've seen interesting emergent game play. My favorite experience to date was a character, after living through a particularly dicey adventure, decided they deserved the moniker "the Brave". Because the game engine has a rename character hook, that was persisted to the game state. Hope you can try it you!
