AetherTactics is an autonomous strategy AI agent engineered for the AMD AI League Match 6 challenge: "Can Your AI Master the Unknown?". The agent navigates an unfamiliar, procedural fog-of-war grid, evades environmental hazards, recovers mission-critical alien relics, and safely reaches extraction points while aggressively minimizing compute overhead and token consumption. Powered by Google Gemini (supporting Gemini 2.5 Flash, 3.1 Flash-Lite, and custom endpoints), AetherTactics utilizes an ultra-compact radar serialization protocol. Instead of verbose context passing, it translates 2D exploration states into dense, minified matrices, constraining LLM reasoning to strict micro-JSON directives under 60 output tokens. To prevent agent freezes during live competition, the platform incorporates an automated watchdog failover pipeline. If a model encounters 503 high-demand or rate-limit spikes, the system automatically executes exponential backoff and fails over to stable alternatives without interrupting autonomous navigation. Built-in live telemetry monitors prompt tokens, generation tokens, step latency, and turn efficiency to deliver state-of-the-art decision-making on minimal inference budgets.
