Can a 4B Model Beat Claude in a Mech Arena? (BIF Ep 9)
-

Josh came in with one goal: resist showing us the 3D demo he spent two weeks building. He succeeded. Barely.
Instead we talked about the actual interesting stuff — why he's building systems for AI agents instead of humans, how a mech arena became his favorite benchmarking tool, and what happens when you let Claude playtest your game engine for you.
Also: two Blackwell GPUs, a Glicko rating system, and the most cursed MMORPG premise we've ever heard.
