You could literally spend $0 and an afternoon hooking up a 4gb model to the game and having it run locally instead. Or you could also spend $0 and code a decision tree that would be fun for players to experience. Or you could choose the dumbest possible option and bankrupt yourself for no reason

Number 3 please!
me explaining to future generations why all the water dried up
And why computers became rentals again
AI running a video game, somehow still less power efficient than a playstation 1. Good job guys. Just make an actual video game.
Given that people playing this have GPUs, why not run the AI model locally? I can't imagine it needs to be a very large model.
Actually sounds like the perfect use case for a model like Jev. I think Jevos should be able to handle that locally.
Because even very small models will take up a large chunk of your cards VRAM, if not all of it. And then you still have to render the game on top of it.
It looks like a very simple game graphically, so having say 2GB VRAM left over for a small model would probably be viable?
I can’t say for certain but based on how the game is described, I don’t think it’s likely a 2GB model would be viable at all.
Probably not a viable game in that case, unless the dev makes people link their own API keys.
There are 1-2gb vram models that should fit in anything. Game doesn't appear to be texture heavy, and targetting a 6gb gpu, would cover anything less than 10-12 years old.
A 1-2 min vram model would probably not be sufficient for what the game is trying to do. Those micro models aren’t really for anything beyond basic object image recognition or RAG searching
How can this ever be sustainable without a huge monthly subscription?
Easy, you just hyperinflate the USD!
Infinite money glitch, irl.
