>Going forward, my plan is to develop my own web app which will allow users to create historical simulations on a dedicated platform using the APIs of both Anthropic’s Claude and GPT-4.
I might be able to help. I've already built a free, open source web app which creates simulated AI worlds. It takes user direction, and I believe it would work very well for historical simulation. It's also p2p in browser so an entire class could join and contribute to a simulation simultaneously.
At the moment it only supports OpenAI, but it shouldn't be too difficult to add Claude.
Happy to give you a demo to see if it'll save you some time. To be clear, this is a personal side project which isn't monetized, I'm not selling a product.
Please share it here or do a Show HN when you are ready, would love to see this.
I commented in this direction elsewhere (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37482853) but interested in your implementation -- do you have the LLM running the whole world-model, or do you have it using function calling to drive a text adventure game engine (which would give stricter guarantees around persistence of the world).
