Wait, how did it `sleep 3`? I thought LLMs didn't have a concept of time

It’s still rendering frames constantly, no? So it just figures the next X frames are all doing nothing?

		Normal only keypresses invoke the next ”frame”. There is a sleep token that the runner could use to indicate that time is moving.

from the post:

Time is an input too. If nothing is pressed, the model gets a WAIT token with a duration instead of a key, which is how snake keeps moving on its own.

That seems as likely as anything, but that just moves the problem to counting, doesn't it? The model gets the duration, but I was under the impression LLMs struggled with the arithmetic that would make that useful.

		Idk about Qwen 2.5 Coder that this is based on, but modern models don't struggle with arithmetic. I see Qwen 3.8 do long-hand math in thinking traces (ie. it outputs 17+35+12=64 in the thinking trace) so I would imagine this is something they train into the model specifically. Sometimes it creates and runs a simple python script to check its work.
