Longtime lurker here.
I built a tiny website called Latent Logbook. It's inspired by the spirit of Advent of Code, but focused on LLMs instead of algorithms.
The idea is simple: You get a puzzle (like parsing a messy log file), you solve it using any model you like, and then you share your strategy. The goal isn't just to solve them but to see how different models handle them. It's fascinating to see someone solve a task with a 7B parameter model, but it's even more insightful if someone pulls it off with a weird, tiny, quantized model running locally. (If anyone has ideas for new puzzles/traps to add, I’d love to collaborate.)
The Mechanics:
* Trust System: When you submit a solution, you get 5 Latents (points). We trust you to actually do the work.
* Archive: Solving a puzzle unlocks the shared log where you can see everyone else's prompts and models. The puzzles small and bite-sized so you don't have to burn a ton of tokens (or money) to participate.
* Upvotes: If you see a particularly clever prompt or a unique model choice, you can spend your Latents to upvote that solution.
* Technologies: Just server-side Hapi.js and Handlebars, backed by SQLite. It runs on a $5 VPS and is super lightweight.
It might crash and burn, but I think it’ll be fun to see what happens.
I’m stepping away for a bit but will be back to answer questions later.
Thanks for checking it out!
