From a garage to the top of the leaderboard.
Model Citizens is a merge-and-idle tycoon about a scrappy comedy AI lab that starts in a garage. Merge graphics cards into bigger hardware, babysit live training runs, ship silly products and pass fictional rival labs on the benchmark leaderboard. Free to play, with optional rewarded ads and in-app purchases.
Merge your compute: tap two matching cards to make the next tier, from a used gaming card to an orbital compute ring
Train models: spend compute and data on a run, watch the live loss curve and hit Lower LR when it spikes
Ship products and climb the leaderboard: a chat helper, a coding buddy, a video studio and a robot brain, then pass fictional rival labs on the benchmark board
New architectures: start over smarter, earn Research Points and unlock permanent upgrades
Free to play. Optional rewarded ads give boosts. In-app purchases include Chip packs, a Starter Pack, Remove Ads, Permanent 2x and an optional VIP Lab Pass ($4.99 a month, auto-renews, cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings).
Where is my progress stored?
Only on your iPhone. The game has no account and no server. Deleting the game deletes your progress.
Are the labs real?
No. Model Citizens is a comedy game. Every lab, person and product in it is made up.
