LLM: wrt frst 100fizzbuzz

Actually kind of curious challenge; what's the shortest prompt you can use, which would produce the shortest possible fizzbuzz? Edit: counting including the entire assistant reply, any text + code

"golf fizbuz" works well, giving a 54 Python one

    for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3
"golf fizzbuzz" gave a 46 perl one

    print$_%15?$_%3?$_%5?$_:Buzz:Fizz:FizzBuzz,$/for 1..100
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.

My attempt:

> Prompt: mkfzbuzgolf

> LLM Used: Default ChatGPT free LLM

> Output: for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3So, 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

On the other spectrum, shortest JS fizzbuzz (62 characters): for(i=0;++i Anyone can beat it? (any language accepted)

Python: [(x%3 edit: Hacker News stripped the * character. Now it's properly escaped.

>>> len("[(x%3'Fizz'+(x%5'Buzz'or x for x in range(1,101)]")

Funny that your write it "Claude Down" with a capital.. but, your sentence is missing an adjective. :-)

Verb. You can miss out adjectives without any problems. There are six missing from this comment.

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. 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 criti…

I think you are joking but it would be poetic if the cause is someone or some company's agents run amok

Announcement from our new Emperor Xi: 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.

Don't threaten me with a good time

There shall be no good time.

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.

Perl6: say "Fizz"x$_%%(2+1)~"Buzz"x$_%%(4+1)||$_ for 1..100 from here - https://github.com/rsha256/shortest-fizzbuzz/blob/master/Per...

Why does this use 2+1 and 4+1 instead of 3 and 5?

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?
