Summary
The developer, Andrew Boyd, is the founder of Standard Agents Inc., which sells a platform for building AI agents. Jev is a recently released decision model that returns solutions with a confidence figure. A traditional LLM, Claude Opus 5, monitored the game log to help Jev when it got stuck. The page's harness changelog had 474 entries, most of them a failure from the game log paired with the change made in response. Opus made adjustments for both accuracy and cost. When Jev got stuck in a loop, the harness was changed to request a decision only every six seconds instead of about once a second.
