About This Game

Start in mom's garage. End by changing the world.


AI Lab Tycoon puts you at the center of the AI race. What begins as a tiny team, limited compute, and one audacious bet can grow into an empire of compute, intelligence and business, but only if you can survive the burn rate, read the market, and stay ahead of rival labs.


Every decision is consequential

Do you spend on brilliant talent or the compute they need? Chase a risky research branch or polish the next product? Take investment now or hold out for better terms? Every decision shapes the lab you become, and how quickly the competition closes in. Manage your lab in a complex interconnected economy.


Turn breakthroughs into momentum

Train and release increasingly capable AI models, transform research into products, and watch the market react. A strong launch can change your trajectory. A mistimed bet can leave rivals racing past you.

Race for the frontier

Explore a connected technology tree, expand through four office tiers, and build strength across research, products, talent, capital, and reputation. Outmaneuver competing labs and pursue victory through AI dominance or the race to ASI.
