🧱 SLM Tetris Arena: can a small language model play Tetris without ever being trained on it?
I built an arena where tiny decoder-only LMs (50K–250M params) play Tetris zero-shot. There is no fine-tuning and no game data. They only use what they picked up from pre-training on text.
How it works:
- For every piece, the engine simulates each legal placement and describes the result in plain English ("clears one line, creates no new holes, keeps the stack low…").
- The model never sees the grid. It reads each description, and the arena compares log P(" good move") with log P(" bad move"). The best-rated placement is played.
- Every player gets the same piece sequence, so it's a fair race.
- There are two protocols: Guided (the rules are in the prompt) and Blind (no rules, only pre-training knowledge).
Two ways to play:
- Match: pick any models (even your own, custom architectures welcome) and watch them play side by side on retro 8-bit boards.
- Ranked: press Play and the arena picks up to 4 models at random from a curated pool of 29. Nobody chooses their opponents, so Elo can't be farmed. Matches run on the server and count even if you close the tab.
First results (~225 ranked matches):
- gpt2 (124M) leads with 1283 Elo, but SupraNeo-4M (4M) is right behind at 1239. Next come LowOnMind-5M and BananaMind-2.1-Pico (1.5M!).
- Model size barely predicts Elo (r ≈ 0.06). Survival does (r ≈ 0.9): the models that avoid holes and keep the stack low are the ones that win.
Every ranked match (seed, model commit SHAs, scores, Elo before/after) is logged in a public dataset.
