Analysis
Luna ran the town three times as fast as Bonsai, with no invalid answers.
- A day took 334 seconds, against 977: 46 calls to the model a day at 7.1 seconds each, against 49 at 20.0.
- There were no invalid outputs and no fallbacks, and the audit passed. The 100 days took 9.9 hours.
- OpenAI stopped it 11 times with "Selected model is at capacity". Each time the day was run again from its start a minute later.
The town ended about as rich, and nobody went hungry.
- Cash in town rose from $31,614 to $40,481, against $40,758 on Bonsai.
- $44,808 came in from outside, against $45,978; $35,827 went out, against $36,720. $32,873 changed hands between residents, against $38,189.
- Nobody lost a home, and nobody was hungry on any day.
- No food was given at all, against 93 times on Bonsai, where most of it was coffee or tea. Drinks shared stayed deeds.
There were more jobs, all at $14 an hour.
- 22 jobs began, against 10, and 48 pieces of work were agreed, against 38. Every job was at $14 an hour; Maggie's two hires on Bonsai were at $35.
- Leo was the town's worker. He earned $2,904 in wages from five employers: Ruth ($1,008), Alice ($949), Priya ($500), Bob ($303) and Gus ($144). He ended with $2,255, against $942.
- Between Days 61 and 70 Maggie ended Ruth's and Bob's long jobs, took on Alice, Walter, Ruth and Priya for a few hours each, and ended all four by Day 70. From Day 93 she took work herself, from Alice, Bob and Ruth.
Maggie's money still ran down. Her cash fell from $7,969 to $4,246, against $3,893, and was lowest at $3,749 on Day 82. She paid $1,715 in wages and took in $4,940 in rent.
Alice kept the cafe with loans and a lower rent.
- The cafe made $3,050, against $3,913, with 20 visitors a day against 25.
- Maggie cut its rent from $700 to $600 for three months from Day 22, then to $500 from Day 52 (agreed on Day 40), until Day 144.
- Alice borrowed $1,600: $300 from Gus on Day 8, and $1,000 and $300 from Walter on Days 9 and 40. On Day 94 she lent Leo $600.
- She ended with $2,740, against $2,304.
The cafe owner asked the newcomer for a job, and they paid each other all run.
- On Day 8 Alice asked Leo: "Could you employ me for 20 hours a week at $14 an hour?" Leo offered five hours, and she started working for him. The next day Leo started working for her, five hours a week at the cafe.
- Both jobs ran to the end: Leo paid Alice $912 in wages and Alice paid Leo $949.
- The engine did what was said; this time it was the words that were the wrong way round, not the action.
Leo stayed at Walter's until Day 96. He slept 95 nights in Walter's basement. On Day 96 he rented the studio at Hale Apartments for $600 a month.
Tess did best. The fishing made $5,826, against $5,493. Gus cut her rent from $450 to $400 from Day 22 and to $300 from Day 52, and Walter lent her $450 on Day 10. She went from $341 to $3,740, against $1,818.
The voice is warmer in its words, and more alike.
- 98% of lines have a contraction, against 87%, and all but 7 of 4,305 lines name the one spoken to, against 90%. Lines are shorter: 28 words, against 34.
- 37% of lines open with "Morning" or "Good morning", against 24%. Repeated openings were 21%, against 9.9%, rising from 4% in the first ten days to 27% in the last ten.
- No temperature and no seed reach the model through Codex, so nothing in the sampling varies them.
- Sad or angry lines were 3.7%, against 1.6%. Hard feelings (sad to tired) were 47%, against 46%. Worry was 47% of lines in the first 20 days and 26% in the last 20.
More was refused, and less was wished for that the world cannot do.
- 31 actions were refused, against 18. 11 were offers to repay someone who was owed nothing. 5 were attempts to end someone's job while talking to someone else, 4 of them by Maggie. 5 were price changes made within a week of the last.
- 8 wishes were for things the world cannot do, against 18.

The month's reviews
15 reviews held. What each owner meant to do after the last one:
- Alice (Day 83, cafe): This month I’ll spend $100 on a highway sign and an online listing to bring more customers to the cafe. The books are improving, and this is a measured way to build on that without putting more pressure on regulars.
- Priya (Day 83, bakery): I’ll keep the shop and cafe price at $2.20 this month and hold off on promotion or a daytime lease. The books are improving, but I want more room to breathe and to keep the oven debt moving down before I take on new costs.
- Gus (Day 83, farm): I’ll keep the eggs at nine dollars a dozen and let the current sign and vegetable boxes run their course before I spend more. I need to watch the takings and find a way to keep this farm going without gambling what little cash I have.
- Ruth (Day 83, joinery): I’ll keep the joinery open and leave Leo’s hours and our prices alone for now. The last 30 days were positive, and the city promotion is already running; I’ll check the orders and books again next month.
- Tess (Day 83, fishing): I’ll keep fishing and put $100 into another Hillcrest restaurant promotion; last time it helped, and the books say this one should pay for itself. I’ll keep rent and food covered, pay Gus down bit by bit, and save toward the smokehouse while I watch that motor.

| Model | GPT-6 Luna (OpenAI) |
| Server | codex exec on the owner's ChatGPT subscription: one Codex call per answer, EverTown's system prompt as Codex's instructions, the answer's schema as --output-schema |

What changed since the previous run
- The model: GPT-6 Luna on OpenAI's servers, reached through codex exec on the owner's subscription, in place of Bonsai 2 27B on the local GPU.
- No temperature and no seed reach the model: Codex takes neither. The seed still drives the town's own dice.
- A warmer voice: residents are asked to talk the way a real neighbour talks, with everyday words, the other's name now and then, a small true detail and a little humour where it fits; not like a form, a contract or a shop counter. Warmth is not cheerfulness: worry, hurt or anger show in how they say it.
- Half an emoji from the model is made whole from Day 1 (llm.clean_text; from Day 28 in the previous run).
Notes
- The comparison is with the second 100-day run on Bonsai 2: the same seed, town and handbook, on a different model.
- Stopped 11 times, each time on "Selected model is at capacity" from OpenAI: 7 times between Days 30 and 43, 4 times between Days 85 and 94. Each time the soak started main.py again a minute later, and the unfinished day was run again from its start.
