Self-hosted AI systems, runtime-forged games, and interfaces that probably shouldn't work.

I run the AI side of a large German company by day. GPU servers, our own software stack, the whole thing. By night I take the same tools and push them past the point where they should fall apart.

This site is where the results end up.

How I got here

complete

Before

Years in IT. Systems, infrastructure, the unglamorous parts that have to keep running whether or not anyone notices.

complete

GPT-3

The moment the ground moved. I started reading everything, building everything, and never really stopped. It took over the day job and then the evenings too.

active

Now

AI at work, AI in my free time. Running the models, running the servers, and finding out where the edges actually are, not where the demos say they are.

What I'm actually after

Everyone can get a language model to write a function. That question is settled. The one that isn't: can it take something all the way to finished?

Not a prototype. Not a demo that falls over on the second click. Something with an art bar, a performance budget, a dozen interlocking subsystems, and a quality gate it cannot talk its way past.

So I stopped writing code and started building the conditions under which an agent has to write it well.

Operating rules

R1

Architecture before features

So a dozen agents can work in parallel without destroying each other.

R2

Tooling before the product

So nothing counts until the machine has looked at its own output.

R3

A separate critic

With a written scale, because a model reviewing its own work is far too generous.

R4

A blind final gate

Because judging your own child never works.

Then I let it run, and I report what actually happens, including the rounds it fails.

Currently building

live build · fable-cities 32-colour decode1920 × 1026

The generated city, dithered into the site's 32 colours: towers packed along a headland, a bay cutting inland, mountains behind, the game's own HUD across the top.

Fable Cities

in development

A Cities: Skylines–class city builder that runs in a browser tab. No Unity, no Unreal, no game engine. Three.js, and a team of AI agents that build and critique their own work. I gave it an empty folder and one instruction.

I post the progress as it happens: the good frames, the failed rounds, and the numbers behind both.
