Twitch AI Contest Platform
I used to really enjoy watching Dota 2 tournaments. I also like Bake-Off, and Battle-Bots was a great idea. I'm tinkering on a project to take two contestants and dump them into a reasonably nicely equipped linux environment (checkpointed fly.io Sprites), giving them a task, and watching them compete in real time to see who gets it done first. All of it streams to twitch. Here's an example match (I have two agents pretending to be contestants for the sake of the demo: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2923688013). Basically anything goes; I imagine people will clone+stow their dotfiles, leverage their workflows/harnesses/editor configs, etc. Viewers will get to see how its done. Next on the todo list is "weight classes" that let contestants compete with a fixed level of harness capability: natty means no agents at all, small local open weight LLM tier only (qwen, gemma, etc), large open weight models only (deepseek, glm, kimi), frontier lite (haiku, luna), frontier (6.1-sol, haiku), frontier plus (astra, fable). Ultimately I want to rank users in each weight class so people can compete for delivering the most at various cost tiers.
