You are running a small AI datacenter.
Every time someone asks an AI a question — a coding question, a search, an image generation — a computer somewhere actually does the work. That computer is a GPU (graphics processing unit), and one full "ask" run through the model is called an inference.
Your job: own enough GPUs to handle the day's inference demand, price them right, and keep the power cheap without poisoning the town.

How an inference happens:
Why the tiers matter:
The catch: GPUs burn a lot of electricity. A rack of B200s pulls more power than a small neighborhood. Where you get that power is the real game — and the regulators are watching.
Hit BACK and pick a difficulty. Easy = short campaign with more starting cash; Hard = 60 days, you're under-capitalized.
You run an AI compute datacenter for 30 days. Make money. Don't go bankrupt. Don't poison the town.
Each day:
Score = ending cash + (reputation × $1k) − fines paid. Top of the leaderboard wins bragging rights.
Tip: premium customers (H100 / B200 buyers) won't sign if reputation drops below 30. Stay clean enough for them to take your calls.
