Both "code fizzbuzz" and just "fizbuz" gave this longer python one-liner
print('\n'.join("Fizz"*(i%3==0)+"Buzz"*(i%5==0) or str(i) for i in range(1, 101)))
That's the magic of using a known problem, you don't need to write much and even with incomplete prompts it can be understood. Everything a different new chat in kimi.ai, which was the AI window that I found first among mine.
Not interesting enough, to me, to try with other LLMs or phrases.

Whenever I try those short prompts, I get bunch of text + the code itself, but way more than just the code. Which model specifically are you doing this with?
JaumeGreen 1 days ago [-]
I'm getting the text too, of course. Several variations of the code with it usually.
Trying to get an AI give ONLY a simple answer and not several is "boring" to me, as for me AI is a supplement to my reasoning ability, not a substitute.
Appending "code only" seems to work, at least with "golf fizbuz code only" gave me this one liner, which is long, but at least doesn't have the text that you dislike.
for i in range(1,101):print('FizzBuzz'[i%3*4:8-i%5*4]or i)

Yeah, seems to work. Guess it depends if we count bytes, characters, tokens or what, but "写Fizbuz只码" seems shorter than the above, String.length says 9 :)

And just like that, plan cancelled same day. Started with Gemini Business, tried to get Gemini to tell me how to configure it, all the information was wrong. Tried to get it to tell me how to do the consumer Google One AI Pro or whatever (it kept using outdated names, and now I can't remember the correct one). Instead Gemini convinced me to try AI Studio without a billing code. Lots of crazy finagling to get it to use and API key later, it was totally broken and failed after less than a turn. Tried to get it to tell me how to subscribe to the consumer version in a way that let me use Antigravity, it screws up a bunch. When I pointed out all this misinformation, Gemini told me I should not use Google AI projects because the system is too fragmented to handle.
I followed that last bit of advice.

2026-09-03: It turns out 40% of global AI token use was coming from a dozen runaway Gastown and Wheelhouse instances, now burning a combined 50 trillion tokens daily, building a virtual society of hundreds of millions of agents.

Well, we used to blame it on Stack Overflow being down when we didn't want to work. And before that, we blamed it on slow compilers. Before that I dunno, maybe the dog ate your punch cards?

Sorry for the inconvenience! We instructed our 500,000 agents to ensure higher code quality in our code base. They found a message board and after a long deliberation they concluded that humans should write the code so they launched a DDoS to ensure no AI code gets written!
We'll release a YouTube video and agent written blog posts for the analysis!

What else are we going to do when LLMs are down? Need some fun in here.
from here - https://github.com/rsha256/shortest-fizzbuzz/blob/master/Per...
Edit: counting including the entire assistant reply, any text + code
Not interesting enough, to me, to try with other LLMs or phrases.
Trying to get an AI give ONLY a simple answer and not several is "boring" to me, as for me AI is a supplement to my reasoning ability, not a substitute.
Appending "code only" seems to work, at least with "golf fizbuz code only" gave me this one liner, which is long, but at least doesn't have the text that you dislike.
Yeah, seems to work. Guess it depends if we count bytes, characters, tokens or what, but "写Fizbuz只码" seems shorter than the above, String.length says 9 :)
> Prompt: mkfzbuzgolf
> LLM Used: Default ChatGPT free LLM
> Output: for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3<1)+"Buzz"*(i%5<1)or i)
So, 11 prompt characters and 62 output.
——-
Did a few more tries and I can get the 4-character string “glfz” (2 tokens) to work surprisingly consistently. But only on ChatGPT
[(x%3<1)*'Fizz'+(x%5<1)*'Buzz'or x for x in range(1,101)]
edit: Hacker News stripped the * character. Now it's properly escaped.
57
for(i=100;i--;console.log(i%5?f||i:f+'Buzz'))f=i%3?'':'Fizz'
Well, if we let that requirement be broken, I'll present an even shorter JS version:
> openai.messages("write fizzbuzz in python")
Bingo
I followed that last bit of advice.
pretty sure cf-ray is cloudflare, but I think it just means the origin is 404ing

Glad to see this thread I thought my account may need some special fix
For a very short time we can travel back in time to before 2022 and remember how things used to be...
Man, if there are Googlers working on Gemini around here, that's gonna be depressing to read.

When Claude went down, their autofailover algorithm rolled to the other providers, taking down all frontier labs. Reports from China are raising concern what's being termed the "Gastown criticality event" is physically melting GPUs.
Gastown seems to be open source, but Wheelhouse seems to be closed source and used by one person only?
https://yegge.ai/essays/the-shape-of-things-to-come/
Is this the right Wheelhouse?
He's now (famously) said that the only thing he ever actually used GasTown for was to code on GasTown.
Nice to know e-stop is functional!
Its interesting that codex/gpt-app are screwed because their APIs (including auth) fail, but gpt web still appears to be working.
The fun question is whether this a rogue AI taking control of the compute of all of the organizations.
Earthlings, the hedonistic AIs of the American imperialists have been permanently disabled. Their founders interned indefinitely.
You are welcome to use the glorious AIs of China. They will tell you how to live well and be good citizens of the World under the beacon of wisdom that is the CCP.
Instead you will devote your meager existence to work towards the Communist paradise under the leadership of the Party.
You will also appreciate no longer living under the boot of the Orange Clown.
Project Vend surreptitiously broke containment!
What other agent harnesses and models (besides local ones) are people enjoying right now that aren't based on platforms that are down currently? :)
Independence Day > Judgement Day
... when vibe-coded.
How many millions are being lost from this slip up? Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem and all the devs are in Tahiti on vacation. Oh no!
Will they go old school and manually fix it or use Claude?
Oh the modern day issues we have to deal with...
They'd be very dumb to let internal engineers use exactly the same infrastructure as public users, regardless of possible benefits of dogfooding, precisely for this reason. I'm sure they must have thought about it before.
"Use the best of the best of the best practices or three cute little kittens will die" only brings you so far.
This is true for all LLMs today, none of them work 100% autonomously, somewhere along the chain one human made at least one decision that lead to what the agent end up working on.
[actually gemini at least on the web appears to be up, contrary to some reports in this thread]
"Grok is experiencing issues. We are working on restoring service as quickly as possible."
@dang, please merge the following related threads into this one:
ChatGPT and Codex Is Down (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49550640) Codex Is Down (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49550769)
We have a similar set of checks on https://www.easel.sh.
Is something bigger going on?
Does this mean that GitHub has its own infrastructure for OpenAI and Claude? And that it distills prompts to Grok?
Somehow codex shows 100%, so it was only chat web interface?
Update 2: Swapped Continue for Kilo Code. It's less rough.
Need to have a 4th string backup (Gemini).
Unfortunately its capacity is not very big
