Jev VS Fable 5.1 VS GPT-6 Astra: chess

typesafe's new Jev V13 isn't an LLM. it doesn't chat, doesn't explain, doesn't write code — it only makes decisions. so we made it play blitz against frontier LLMs.

the test: 5+0 blitz. every move is one API call.

Jev V13 vs Fable 5.1:

• fable outplayed it. by move 29 it was +16 in material and even promoted a second queen

• but it kept burning 6-15 seconds per move on analysis. jev answered in ~2.6s

• so fable didn't have enough time and lost

Jev V13 vs Astra:

• astra didn't bother winning on material. it mated jev in 18 moves. Qe1#, with 2:27 to spare

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x
