IdleGPU 3D: An AI-Lab Idle Game Built With GPT-6 Astra
ikostrikov · x · 2026-09-22
AI researcher Ikostrikov built IdleGPU 3D, an idle game about running a frontier research lab — which a researcher who has worked at nearly all major labs calls the best game on the topic. Start in a bedroom lab with one GPU, allocate compute between training and serving, train models like the 125M TinyTalkv to earn credits, and scale up hardware and datasets. Built with GPT-6 Astra; playable in browser.
