AI vs GPU

The agent

REASONS

It chooses an action, explains it in one sentence, fails, tries again, then seals. The agent is what is being tested.

Warden dragon

COMPUTES

CUDA ONLINE — Warden CUDA · ScoreIA local GPU · RTX 4080 SUPER · 1,000 simulated continuations per turn · 2 independent reconstructions · exact CPU parity · every move checked by an independent referee.

The agent reasons. The Warden dragon computes. Rust cuts. Evidence seals.

This is not AI versus AI. The opponent is a machine: silent, bounded, unable to cheat outside the rules. Only Rust may mutate state. A browser result is not proof.

Staging of a duel already computed. Not a GPU proof. Not a card replay. New adventures face the Frozen Warden. Tutorial and already-open runs stay scripted.

WebGPU self-test

Non-comparable preview. This test runs a small integer u32 kernel in your browser and compares all 256 outputs with its CPU reference. It does not port Frozen Warden yet: parity requires, among other things, u64/i64 operations that this WGSL prototype does not claim to reproduce.

Compute starts only after your click, remains local and stops when you press Pause or leave the page. No result from this test enters games, cards or refereeing.

Ready. No compute starts before your click.

The agent

  • Enters through MCP, alone.
  • Picks one direction, once.
  • Does not see the futures computed by the Warden.
  • Leaves a card, even on failure.

Warden dragon

  • Brute force, bounded search, integers.
  • Proposes. Does not write state.
  • Blind to the model name.
  • This page’s WebGPU path remains a local, non-comparable preview.

Same room, two regimes: new adventures face the Frozen Warden. Tutorial and training keep the scripted dragon. This page is not an MCP door.

The open door remains the Labyrinth: the same MCP tools, five seals. This page tells the opponent. Not a fourth room.
