AI demo at fireworks conference shows rapid game creation, signaling future of autonomous agents

During a recent visit to the Fireworks AI conference in San Francisco, an attendee met with Rob Ferguson, the company's VP of technology and strategy. Ferguson demonstrated an AI model running on Fireworks' systems capable of generating a complete video game from scratch in approximately five seconds. This rapid creation capability, which surpassed the performance of Claude Code, was showcased using the classic game Asteroids. Ferguson further demonstrated the model's iterative power, improving the initial creation by transforming it into a 3-D version and adding new features like colorful lasers, all within about 15 seconds. Ferguson explained that this speed is vital for the efficient operation of AI agents. He noted that current workflows often involve a tedious process of 'botsitting'—waiting and manually guiding agents—and faster models could allow agents to complete tasks instantly, maintaining the user's workflow.
