WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
• "I don't know what a token is, but I'm very proud." (Mum, Mum's Weekly Digest)
• "10/10. Finally explains why my kid quit their job." (Dad, The Back Garden Review)
• "A triumph. Played it every night this week instead of fixing the gutter." (Wife, Our Kitchen Quarterly)
• "Heard a lot of shouting about GPUs through the fence. Gripping." (Neighbour, The No. 42 Gazette)
• "It replaced my job. Five stars." (A former copywriter)
(None of these are real reviews. Our families are very supportive, though.)
LLM Wars is a management sim about the AI boom, played as a story in six acts. Train models, hire researchers, buy compute and ship. Each release is reviewed by benchmarks, developers, the press and a safety board. Then the market, the public and eventually the government react.
TRAIN AND SHIP
• Pick a focus (chat, code, vision, agents, voice, robotics and more) and the data to train on. Find the pairings that work.
• Choose how big to go and how careful to be. Moving fast costs flaws, and flaws become incidents.
• Release closed for money or open for fans. Open weights can't be taken back.
BUILD THE LAB
• Hire, promote and keep your people before rivals poach them. A few legends are hiding in the candidate pool.
• Move from the garage to a loft, an office floor, a campus and a tower.
• Raise money from investors, but every round costs you a share of the company. Sell too much and the board takes over.
• Race three rival labs for first place in the standings.
FACE THE CONSEQUENCES
• Watch whole professions get replaced, one release at a time.
• Lobby Congress, testify, or ask for a global pause. Regulators escalate from audits to injunctions to suspending your licence.
• Seven endings, from Steward to Replaced. Which one you get depends on what you chose, not just how big you got.
AND
• Six acts of original chiptune music that turn darker as the decade goes on.
• Worldwide leaderboards through Game Center.
• Secret founders and jokes hidden for curious lab names.
• Share a card of your run when it's over.
• Keep running your lab after the ending, just for fun (unranked).
No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. No tracking.
A work of satire. The people and companies in the news are parodies: not real, and not affiliated with or endorsed by anyone they resemble.
