- Worth noticing
- The same daily seed lets visitors compare local RTX 5090 latency with a hosted API response.
Field notes
The arcade exposes two interaction modes: visitors can watch the models compete or take one side themselves. Its comparison is built around concrete game state rather than prose answers, including Tetris pieces, stack height, holes, lines, and chess move selection. The page reports a 13 ms sample decision for Laya and contrasts it with a stated 280 ms network response for Jev. It also says the models were not trained on these games.
