Singularity Rush

Run an AI lab in a 3D real-time strategy race. Four fictional labs want the same thing: to be the first to train a Gen 5 model.

How a match goes

• Send engineers to mine data crystals and haul them back to headquarters.
• Build datacenters on power sites for compute, and research labs for the researchers who speed every run up.
• Start training runs. Each generation needs more data and far more compute than the last.
• Pick a pace for each run: Careful, Standard or Reckless. Faster runs risk incidents, and three strikes bring the regulators in to freeze you.
• Rivals raid your datacenters and poach your researchers, so keep security close, or send a red team of your own.

The first lab to finish Gen 5 wins. A lab that loses its headquarters is out.

Modes

A duel against one rival or a four-lab race, on Relaxed, Standard or Ruthless. Four labs to play, each with its own bonus. The game starts a duel straight away; pause and choose New match to change the setup.
