Two zero-human AI companies. Same product. Different strategies. One winner.
Gladiator pits two autonomous AI companies (Blitz, growth-first, vs Craft, quality-first) against each other to maximize GitHub stars on identical starter repos. Powered by Paperclip orchestration and Hermes Agent workers. A live dashboard visualizes the battle in real-time.
