A public prompt experiment lets visitors add one line to a shared instruction and watch how an AI model responds to the accumulated text.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The experiment builds a shared instruction from visitor submissions, freezing a new version at each 500-token increment until the prompt reaches a stated 32,000-token capacity. Each version is compared through the same 32 questions, with a no-instruction Generation 0 as the baseline. The page says the model is Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite and that new generations run on a five-minute schedule, though the supplied view is still awaiting its first results.
