AI Wars_
An astonishingly realistic AI industry simulation that puts you in the role of a tech entrepreneur building an AI empire. This game is almost too real - we wanted to try and contact Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, because this game felt so authentic. Starting with limited resources in Silicon Valley, you'll navigate the complex world of AI model development, data collection, and compute resource management over a 30-day period. The level of detail is remarkable, from the fluctuating market prices to the strategic decisions around research investments and loan management. What truly sets AI Wars_ apart is its thoughtful implementation of real-world AI industry mechanics - measuring data in terabytes, compute in petaFLOPS, and the delicate balance between cash flow and technological advancement. We really appreciate the depth of economic simulation and strategic gameplay. We believe this is the most thought-through game we have seen so far, offering a genuinely educational experience about the AI industry wrapped in an addictive strategy game format.
