Re:Jev: New frontier model 40-400x cheaper and 20-200x faster on Thursday September 17, 2026 @05:41PM (#49746988)
I was wondering the same! So I asked Astra to build me https://jev-chess-master.vercel.app/ where you play against Jev AI as chess player.

You play White, and Jev plays Black. Rather than asking an LLM to generate move strings or JSON, the backend feeds all server-validated legal candidate moves into Vercel AI SDK's experimental_evaluate(). Jev picks Black's move and outputs its probability distribution across all legal candidates in a single forward pass (~300ms, ~$0.00004/move).

Give a try and let me know your thoughts! I am having lots of fun coming up with different chess strategies for Jev to try out.
