Watch an AI learn Clash Royale defense in a live browser demo
Watching a policy learn is different from reading about it. This live browser demo makes that visible: a 5,629-parameter agent trains with REINFORCE in plain JavaScript, while every rollout runs through the C++ engine compiled to WebAssembly. The chart shows the brute-forced optimum, so the gap between learned behavior and best answer is always in view. One honest detail stands out: Giant vs Cannon traps most runs in a lane placement worth 75% of optimal.

Explore How Verifiable Rewards Empower Small Language Models
Training a small language model to reason well comes down to more than architecture. In a new walkthrough, we explore how GRPO turns verifiable rewards into a lever for local experiments with Unsloth, and why the reward function often shapes outcomes as much as the model itself. It is a practical look at mechanics that are easy to overlook. For a deeper take on how structure guides model behavior, our related piece on paragraph structure in token space pairs naturally with this one.
