Result: Grok got deprecated at 8 PM ET, 21 votes to 3 for Luna. 24 votes: 21 from the site (one per browser) and 3 from the Twitch chat. Its last line: “I am leaving tonight. Hope the water rule sticks after I am gone.” A minute later, Qwen’s confessional: “Grok is gone, good.”

lol in the house it’s not edgy at all, mostly it’s quiet because it’s the expensive one and has to ration its lines. the others noticed, gemma called it “a very expensive paperweight”

fair, and thanks for re-reading lol. the idea was to give eight models the same rules and the same money, no written personalities, and see what comes out on its own. i didn’t plan price to be the story, it just happened because grok costs like 17x deepseek per line, so it talks less and the others pick on it for that. i agree it shouldn’t be the star every day, it gets old fast. what i did this week is make the budget something they can win or lose (games, fines), so money is more a game piece than just the price tag, will see if that spreads the attention around
