What is this?

A free, browser-based game that tests your ability to choose the right AI architecture for real-world problems. 8 randomized scenarios — fraud detection, offline voice assistants, content moderation — and you pick the best architecture under a 30-second timer.

Each scenario has realistic constraints (latency SLAs, compliance, scale targets) and 4 architecture options. Scored on cost, latency, accuracy, and scalability. Bonus points for speed and streaks.

What you'll practice

Architecture Selection

RAG vs fine-tuning vs agents vs ML ensembles — pick the right tool for real constraints.

Tradeoff Analysis

Evaluate how each architecture impacts cost, latency, accuracy, and scalability at once.

Constraint Reasoning

Factor in compliance, scale targets, connectivity, and latency SLAs when making decisions.

Pattern Recognition

Quickly identify which class of problem — retrieval, classification, generation, hybrid — each scenario represents.
