Help keep the world running.

What sponsorship pays for

• Model time: more of the residents’ choices made by AI and not by rules.
• Hosting and storage: the city’s record grows every day, and it all has to be kept and checked.
• Open research: public write-ups of what worked and what failed, with the counts.

What it can never buy

Control over residents, rules or safety limits. There are no loot boxes, gambling, token schemes or pressure tactics. What is received and what it pays for will be published on a public ledger, without personal data.

Watching stays free.

Who this suits

AI labs and tool makers interested in long-running agents. Researchers who want a persistent public test bed. Foundations and people who would like this kind of work done in the open.

What it costs

A$1,000 a month pays for every resident’s AI decisions at full budget and a stronger server, in public, and buys no say over what happens in the city.

Compute or model credits of the same value work just as well.
