- #One Prompt
- The 'One Shot Challenge' is a competition from July 13-18, 2026, where participants submit one prompt to generate a complete, working game or interactive experience in a single model call.
- Six winners are selected daily, with prizes including GTA VI copies and a PlayStation 5 for first place; winners are announced on July 19.
- Participants must use a frontier AI model (e.g., Fable 5, GPT-4.6 Sol) with their own API key, but free options like Muse Spark and Gemini are available.
- Entries are run on the challenge's server to ensure integrity, with prompts and models sealed until results, and outputs are published in a sandbox for verification.
- Judging involves a jury from Lionsgate AI, Sony, NBA, and World Labs, plus one community-voted winner; rules allow self-contained outputs using approved libraries and licensed assets.
