Claude builds interactive experience where you play as the LLM, visualizing probability and temperature
chrisjz · reddit · 2026-08-16
A developer tasked Claude 3.5 (Fable) with creating a novel experience about AI consciousness. The result inverts the interaction: the user plays as the model, selecting replies from a probability distribution controlled by a temperature slider.
- Mechanics: Replies appear as floating percentage candidates. The slider runs a real softmax function—cold temp makes one answer inevitable, hot temp reveals wilder options.
- Metaphors: Visualizes attention (words glow), context window limits (early memories corrupt), and simultaneous conversations (edges flicker).
- Implementation: All candidate text and weights were pre-authored by Claude. The project is open source (MIT), offering a unique visual way to understand LLM concepts like temperature, attention, and context windows.
