Model Kombat: The LLM Fighting Game!

Short summary

Model Kombat is a 2D fighting game that visualizes LLM architecture differences as combat mechanics—parameter count determines visual fidelity, reasoning tokens fuel a Ki meter, and Mixture-of-Experts routing grants combat buffs. Six models (o3, Claude Opus, Gemini, DeepSeek V3, Mistral 7B, Llama 3.2 3B) each get unique passives reflecting their real-world strengths, such as o3's fast Ki charging for reasoning chains or DeepSeek V3's evasion from KV-cache compression. It's a creative, playable analogy for understanding how model scale, architecture, and modality translate to capability differences.
