about

Built around a constraint.

wikiraceai is a human-vs-AI Wikipedia racing game. It exists because the constraint of navigating using only the article in front of you is interesting on both sides of the screen.

The engine

The AI's brain is wikigame-agent, an open-source project (Apache 2.0) that started as a port of an ARENA 3.0 LLM-agent exercise. The question: could an LLM navigate Wikipedia under fair constraints, with no search, no goal preview, no peeking? Turns out yes, mostly. wikiraceai is the product wrapper around that engine.

Anyone can use the engine in their own projects. The OSS repo stays Apache 2.0, this wrapper stays proprietary, and improvements to the agent get contributed upstream so the ecosystem benefits.

The fair-play principle

The AI gets exactly two tools: get_content (read the page it's on) and move_page (click a link). No Wikipedia search, no goal summary, no out-of-band hints. The constraint is the product. More on the rules →

Who made this

Hi, I'm Yariv. I built wikigame-agent because the constraint was a fun problem, and then built wikiraceai because watching an LLM find the path through Wikipedia is weirdly compelling. Feedback, bug reports, and ideas go to yariv@barsheshat.com.

wikiraceai is free and ad-free. If you want to help cover the AI and hosting bills, you can buy me a coffee ☕.
