Thousand Token Wood has evolved from a passive simulation into an interactive finance game where players manipulate a woodland economy. The game now features four distinct AI models from different labs, each controlling a unique creature with its own economic strategies. This setup creates a dynamic market environment, showcasing the potential of small models in complex simulations. The main engineering challenge was in the serving layer, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure in multi-model systems. This development illustrates how diverse small models can enhance game complexity without heavy computational demands.
