click cells to toggle them, the grid is a torus, every next generation is computed by ollama
This is a Conway's Game of Life implementation whose rules live completely in a GGUF file run by a standard ollama server. The GGUF was hand crafted to compute Life, without any training.
Every tick the frontend sends the 144 cells of the grid and gets back 145 tokens: the next generation, cell by cell, plus an end-of-turn token. Nine attention heads fetch each cell's 3×3 neighbourhood (the torus wrap is wired into the attention queries) and a 512-neuron MLP, one neuron per possible neighbourhood, applies Conway's rules. The frontend does nothing but draw what ollama returns.
