Itty Bitty Intelligence

As usual, it's a discussion. We have some ideas, we are open for them to be challenged

yep

unstructured and psychedelic for sure

Hi all -- have opened my dm's for discussion. We will be responding to messages over the course of the week. Thanks for all the interest!

experimental, generative, 2D-retro, collaged. Clashing color palettes. Worth noting we are a procedural machine learning studio so you should be open to handshaking with a machine in weird ways

paid for sure -- contract-based

We are looking for digital artists interested in exploring new game technologies and new art pipelines to help us realize our core aesthetic.
We like: Midnight Gospel, Ithell Colquhoun, and @infiniteyay.
Dm for more info.

awesome, thanks for the open-source effort

Some relevant world modeling results just dropped: flowequivariantworldmodels.github.io

Progression of a baked cranium.

dr. neurosauce's confession.

Neural shapes. #gamedev #machinelearningmagic #indiegame

Interpolating neural text. #gamedev #machinelearningmagic #indiegame

Perturbing neurons. #gamedev #machinelearningmagic #indiegame

Pulling a game out of these neurons. #gamedev #machinelearningmagic #indiegame

A lot of good old literature on CL that I bet will be dug up to get this working soon, e.g. reservoir sampling, replay buffers. I can imagine a personal tiny 'code model' that gets retrained on your codebase nightly after your last push.

First attempt at rendering a Tiny Forest inside a Tiny Neural Network.

Due to the implicit representation of the neural network we can do multi-view scenes in a single rendering pass.
Somewhere there is a game in 10+ camera renders overlapping...

Neural bugs are much more interesting than software bugs.

Occlusion + height rendering in just a couple million parameter neural network.

Seems like over on X something similar blew up: x.com/fofrAI/statu.... We want it real-time, on-device, and self-trained.

A tiny, endless, real-time, perfect-memory, neural network world.

Grid-based noise is a beautiful and strange world.

About 50k synthetic renders + mouse 'burns' the hovered latents, hence the fun warping.
More experiments to come :)

Thanks! This model is tiny. Only a few million parameters. Runs at 60 fps minimum and memory usage is v low (can't recal exact numbers).

tinyautoencoder + fine-tuned 1-step small diffusion model. You can see the generation quality is poor because of num inference steps. But works for early testing.

Exploring a new rendering approach.

UI overhaul. Next: more environment types, entity types, and -- cows & turtles!
