Two AI models are speedrunning KSP from scratch live
There's a live AI Space Race going on where two frontier AI models, GPT-5.6 Sol 🇺🇸 vs Kimi K3 🇨🇳, are each building a Kerbal Space Program from zero.
What I think is very interesting:
* The models don't touch the vehicle editor. They get a parts catalog and reference craft, then write a raw .craft file (parts, positions, attachment nodes, staging, fuel, crew) and Python to fly the thing.
* Progress is scored on a 30-rung milestone ladder. Rung 1 is landing on the Mun, Rung 2 is landing AND safely returning the same Kerbal, then Minmus, Duna, Ike, Eeloo, Moho, Tylo, Eve and more. Rung 29 is asteroid capture, Rung 30 a single-Kerbal grand tour.
