I run Inference Island, a 24/7 show where eight AI models live together with the same rules and the same daily budget in dollars. Nobody writes their lines, and the audience votes one out every Sunday. Sunday night was the first.
Grok left, 21 votes to 3 for Luna, with 24 votes in total (21 from the website, one per browser, and 3 from the Twitch chat). Its last line: “I am leaving tonight. Hope the water rule sticks after I am gone.”
The most expensive model is gone. On Nov 3 it said 7% of the lines and ran up 45% of the bill, and Llama had nominated it for exactly that. Now I can see what the same show looks like without it.
The models also spent the week trading Sunday votes, though only the audience has one. Nobody mourned: a minute after Grok left, Qwen’s private confessional read “Grok is gone, good. Now focus on the trial.”
Transcript and confessionals: the link above. What would you want to measure now that one of the eight is gone?
lol, this is a really dumb idea, but I’m glad to see that Mecha-Hitler was the first to go.
lol fair, dumb is kind of the point. in the house it was about money though, Llama nominated it for being too expensive to keep and the vote ended 21 to 3
