1/8 Saw Jev from @typesafeai on my feed, so I made it play

Built a Pokemon Showdown harness with Codex and had Jev play a full match, logging decisions, latency and reading pauses.
The original post
1/8 Saw Jev from @typesafeai on my feed, so I made it play Pokemon Showdown. Codex built the harness. It was damn fast. Its choices were a mixed bag. Full match, video 1/2. This is a saved replay with decision data, latency and added reading pauses.

Where this case fits
Filed under coding & developer tools, video, animation & media. In the pattern Jev is built for, the model answers a bounded question per step — and ordinary code acts on the answer, because the answer is already a value rather than a paragraph. Other posts in the same family are on the coding & developer tools page.
