New competition platform pits tiny neural networks under 800 parameters at strategy games
codetiger42 · reddit · 2026-09-26
Inspired by Google's Ants AI Challenge 2011 (where he ranked #127 globally), a developer built a competition platform for small neural networks playing strategy games. Top models use fewer than 800 parameters, and the author argues NN optimization is an underrated art. Feedback and more games welcome.
