Generate endless Roblox quests with AI (and cache them so it's cheap)

Hand-written quests run out. Players finish your content faster than you can write it, and the tenth "collect 10 wolf pelts" quest feels like filler. You can generate quests on the fly instead — tuned to the player and the place. One request local Cortex = require ( game . ServerStorage . Cortex ) local ai = Cortex . new ( "YOUR_KEY" ) local quest = ai : ask ( "Give one short side-quest for a…

Roblox developers face a challenge: their hand-written quests become obsolete as players finish them faster than they can create new content. The tenth "collect 10 wolf pelts" quest feels repetitive and filler-like. To address this, developers can generate quests dynamically, customized to each player and location.

To achieve this, a snippet of code demonstrates how to integrate AI into the Roblox game. First, import the Cortex library using `local Cortex = require(game.ServerStorage.Cortex)`. Then, initialize the AI model with `local ai = Cortex.new("YOUR_KEY")`.

Using the AI, request a short side-quest for a forest zone suitable for a level 5 player who has just entered the area. The AI will respond with a generated quest, such as "Find the woodcutter who vanished near the old mill before nightfall."

The same approach can be used to generate item names, descriptions, and lore throughout the game world. With Cortex, these world-gen content pieces are created once and then fixed, allowing developers to cache them and never incur additional costs for repetition. Cached content remains free, while only paying for output tokens, resulting in a cost-effective solution for a world filled with generated flavor text.

Developers pay using Robux, while the AI key remains server-side, ensuring data security. Interested developers can access a free beta and open-source kit on GitHub at https://github.com/cortex-rbx/roblox-ai-kit and explore a demo at https://cortex-rbx.github.io.

AI chat moderation in Roblox — by meaning, not a word list

Word-list chat filters break the moment someone types a s s a s s i n with spaces, or a slur spelled with a 0 , or a perfectly innocent word that happens to contain a banned substring.

  • Roblox replaces word-list filters with AI chat moderation system
  • AI model analyzes message meaning, catches obfuscated toxicity
  • Developers use Cortex component, specify game context for moderation

I built K-Humanizer, an open-source Agent Skill for natural Korean writing

Korean text from LLMs is often grammatically correct but still sounds translated. The word order follows English, abstract nouns hide the action, and the tone is often more formal than the situation…

  • K-Humanizer refines Korean LLM output for native readers
  • Maintains facts, numbers, names, uncertainty, domain terms
  • MIT licensed GitHub repository with synthetic examples

AI Agent Standards Experiment: Test Rules Before Teams Trust Them

AI agents can look reliable after one impressive demo and still fail the moment real users, messy repositories, and conflicting instructions enter the room.

  • AI agents may appear reliable but can fail in real-world scenarios.
  • Teams often change agent rules based on gut feelings, not evidence.
  • The guide provides a lightweight experiment system for AI agent standards.

Calibration Is Bet Sizing

The last post was about making a number trustworthy. Leakage geometry, purge widths, de-overlap, a baseline that could not cheat.

  • Six assets improved calibration with new system
  • LINK-USD did not see improvement, underperformed
  • Selective rollout involves allow-list of assets

I Got 28 TPS Out of Free Kaggle GPUs. Here's What It Took.

I want to be upfront about something: this whole project runs on free Kaggle T4 notebooks, an AWS EC2 t3.micro relay that costs almost nothing, and public internet. No A100s.

  • Researchers split 7B model across two Kaggle T4 GPUs for free GPU training
  • Speculative decoding improved token generation speed from 4.92 TPS to 14.3 TPS
  • CUDA Graphs optimization reduced draft generation time from 112ms to 25ms
