Reddit user maddie-lovelace built Gridworld, a dungeon-crawler-style benchmark for decision models that lets you watch AI fumble through a dungeon in real time. The demo runs Gemma 26B MoE locally on an M5 MacBook Air, with live action-probability bars (north/south/east/west/attack/wait) and the model's generated plan text, e.g. heading east toward the goal while avoiding monsters. Part benchmark, part entertainment.
