THE FORGE: AI LAB

Ten missions. You train a real model, break it on purpose, then fix it. This is not a quiz.

A GST PRODUCTION

WAR ROOM · INCOMING FROM COMMAND

GST — the Bot King's forces are corrupting machines across every sector of GameWorks. Every model you train in here is not a school exercise. It is a weapon in this war, and Command is counting on you to ship it. Clear the sectors below.

BOT KING THREAT LEVEL 100%
Every sector you clear weakens his grip on the network.

COMING SOON · PHASE 2

Mission

This mission needs the secure AI relay from the site's build plan. It is not armed yet, so this mission stays honestly locked instead of faking a live AI (clearance pending). Come back once Phase 2 ships.

Mission 1 · First Contact

GST — this classifier has never seen a shape in its life, and the Bot King's scout-drones are already using that blind spot against us. Fix it before the next wave.

Watch it fail below. It's an untrained classifier that hasn't learned anything yet. Then draw circles, squares and triangles to build its training data and watch its confidence change.

Mission 2 · The Drawing Brain

The Bot King jammed our sketch-recon feed with noise, GST. Rebuild live doodle recognition so scouts can call shapes back mid-stroke, exactly like Quick, Draw!

Teach it star, house and fish. Once trained, doodle below and watch it run live inference in real time.

Mission 3 · Bad Data, Bad Brain

GST, this training data came off a captured Bot King supply line. Command didn't vet it. Neither did you. Watch what happens.

Garbage in, garbage out – bias is the most important rule in AI, learned by breaking it yourself.

Tap the button above to get started.

Mission 4 · The Tiny Brain

Strip it back to bare neurons, GST. Every weapon in this war starts as random noise until you train it up. No pretrained anything.

XOR is a pattern one straight line can never solve. Watch a real neural net learn it, live, one epoch at a time, as its loss falls.

Mission 5 · Prompt School

Bot King units only respond to the right trigger phrase, GST. Rule-Bot runs the same kind of logic. Crack its hidden rule before you trust anything scripted like it in the field.

Send it different prompts. Watch the token count. Figure out what makes it respond for real.

Mission 6 · Build a Bot Brain

Tune a real bot brain, GST. This one goes into the fight for real — aggression, reaction, caution. Your call, Game Master.

Drag the cyan dot. The gold ghost dot shows where the pink bot is about to move, one beat before it commits.

SHOW ME
Drag the sliders, then hit Run.

Mission 7 · Ship Your Bot

Playtest it for real, then ship it, GST. Every bot on the shelf below is active-duty in the war against the Bot King's forces — credited to you, forever.

An AI playtester runs your Mission 6 bot for real and reports back real numbers.

Finish Mission 6 first, then run the playtester here.
YOUR SHIPPED BOTS

Mission 10 · How Claude Works

Final debrief, Commander. Same question, three different kinds of "AI" answer it — only one is really thinking, and knowing which is which is what keeps this whole war winnable.

Tap a card, then tap the label you think it is. Get at least 2 of 3 right to clear the capstone.

The question every card is answering: "What's the weather like today?"
