So much more than you'd realize!

That's a solid 2200 words to spend on operating parameters and conveying state, leaving a generous 700 word window for them to decide and respond in.

When the bonsai/prism 1bit models dropped and I saw how many prompts a minute I could get from a dusty m2 mini I started hooking it up to all sorts of shit, like a traffic simulator that translates the car state/surroundings/immediate goal into text, it responds with a seqeunce of actions defined in the system prompt, which then get translated back into NPC input.

What I was hoping for here was that it would result in fucking chaos, all sorts of stupid decisions and epic car accidents. I cannot overstate my disappointment (and terror) when they were perfectly reasonable, safe drivers. I had to cut the tire grip by 75% without telling them and make them control twice as many cars to delay their ability to respond before I saw anything resembling an enjoyable traffic accident.
