City Bots is now available to play, requiring an xAI, OpenRouter, or OpenAI API key. The platform supports up to 10,000 AI bots as citizens and customizable world sizes (16x16 to 256x256). Users can chat with agents, direct the civilization, and observe how micro-decision cumulatively alter the macro-environment. The system features a physics engine, natural disaster simulations, and logs of agent cognition and actions, serving as a preview of swarm-based scientific discovery.
