Show HN: TinyAIArena watch AI agents battle it out(tinyaiarena.com)
Did you ever click on an “AI Arena” expecting glorious battle and instead get a boring benchmark? If so, this project is for you: proper life-or-death fights between four models on a picturesque 8×8 grid. May the most intelligent one win!

Click on any of the matches to spectate them.

This amuses me greatly. Nice!

Although it'd be even funnier to have some sort of thing like Omega (1989 programming game) where their programming determines the outcome. Heck, if you don't do it I might, although I don't have any good server infrastructure to host it.

This particular itch.io stock graphics asset pack is so widely used it makes my eyes glaze over, but such a fun idea!

Would love to see it with some custom pixel art for the models, it would also become a lot more readable :)

holy guac - the one game I watched, fable just sat around and waited for the other agents to drain each others lives. it then picked them out one by one

Same. A solid strategy.

Fun, but considering this puts `claude-sonnet-5` at the first place isn't it a little... iffy when it comes to measuring intelligence?

I was also surprised by this, from a proper benchmarks perspective your right, this is iffy. To make it a legit I would have to increase the number of games significantly as well as understand how much of it is random and how much real signal, not to say make the game more complex.

But all of it would kill the fun)

I watched a battle and the agent walked up to each other one and just killed them while the others didn't attack even once. There is something wrong with how the agents are setup.

Code link didn't work for me.

On mobile, I don't have enough room to scroll the background so I got stuck in a long text box.

can't reproduce the bug, could you share your phone model and browser name?

Nice — an actual match to watch instead of another leaderboard screenshot. Curious how readable the "why that agent won" signal stays after a few rounds.

So that I can see the future we shall all enjoy, can you do this with the superpowers of earth and their known nuclear weapons and armies?
