I built a maze-runner game to further explore Jev @typesafeai as "running" through a maze is all about fast decision making - perfect for Jev! I had Claude Code via OAuth and Jev via API race the maze under identical conditions with a decision menu being laid out at every maze junction. Jev beat Claude... I had Opus 5 in Claude Code @ClaudeDevs @claudeai @bcherny @trq212 @lydiahallie @adocomplete

A decision menu appeared at every maze junction. Jev was accessed via API, while Claude Code used OAuth and Opus 5.
