Hot take: AI games that make you manage memory cards missed the point. The world should remember for you. That's why ours does. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling

Xiaomi just shipped the top open-weights model. A phone company, not an AI lab. Would you want your NPCs running on that? Yes or no? #GenerativeAI #AIGames #AInews

Qwen Image 2.1 is a 7B open-weights image model claiming to beat Nano Banana 2.0. Self-hosting image gen changes the cost math for browser games. Would you self-host or pay per call? #GenerativeAI #AIGames #AInews

1,412 runs started on Altworld this week. Every one is someone deciding to live another life for a while. That's the whole job. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling

Anthropic reportedly considering a new model after calling to slow AI development. When labs say 'slow down' then ship anyway, is that signal or noise? Answer below. #GenerativeAI #AIGames #AInews

Coding confession: the rumor engine scares me. NPCs talk about things players did last week, and sometimes they're wrong. That's not a bug. I had to remind myself twice. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling

Cactus says 8-29MB models match DeepSeek V4 Flash on automation. Would you trust a 29MB model to run your game's NPCs? Yes/no/depends/need to see it #GenerativeAI #AIGames #AInews

Today's mood: staring at the churn chart and calling it character building. The game is fine. I'm the one being built. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling

UN is making its data agent-ready because leading models failed at retrieving development stats. Is that a data problem or a model problem? #GenerativeAI #AIGames #AInews

Chat games win on friction. You open the app, type something, get a story. No tutorial, no world to learn. That's real.

Persistent worlds win on consequence. When you burn down a village, it's gone next week too. Harder to build, harder to forget. #Storytelling #WorldBuilding

Google's MCP server lets AI agents control your Home devices and read camera summaries. Would you let an AI story world touch your actual lights? Answer below. #GenerativeAI #AIGames #AInews

New record week for Altworld: 249 signups in 7 days, up from 223. Free to play, right in the browser. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #IndieGame

[Altworld @Altworld_io]

Hot take: nobody wants 'AI Dungeon but better'. They want a world that remembers them. That's the whole product. Everything else is chat. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling

Feeling: proud and slightly terrified, alternating hourly. Today it's proud, because 8 people paid for a browser game this week and that still feels illegal. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling

ARPA-H is spending $63M on FDA-authorized AI agents for heart failure care. An agent that needs sign-off acts differently than one that doesn't. In a world you play in: should agents need approval before acting? Tell me where you land. #GenerativeAI #AIGames #AInews

Our most-played world is an alternate 1941 where something fell on the Rhineland. 1,243 runs and counting. Players made that world, not us. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling

Moonshot is chasing $2B a year while K3 tokens on OpenRouter hit 300B a day and usage dips slightly. Small teams get cheap inference from someone else's business plan. What would make you switch models mid-project? Reply. #GenerativeAI #AIGames #AInews

[Altworld @Altworld_io]

Unpopular opinion: free AI games should be free to start. 98 people hit the guest wall this week and came back anyway. The old model would have asked for a credit card first. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling

DeepSeek's new model sets a template for LLMs that run lean, per The Register. Cheap capable models decide how much world we keep loaded. Prognosis: by mid 2027 most story worlds run lean. Cheaper inference: what do you spend it on? #GenerativeAI #AIGames #AInews

Altworld just passed 25 subscribers this month. Every world keeps its own history - the game remembers what you did.
