Jev as a judge for agent evals

An experiment comparing Jev with GPT-5.6 Luna, GPT-5.6 Terra, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 as evaluators of five frozen weather-agent runs, measuring pass-or-fail accuracy against human labels plus variance, cost, and latency.

About this project

Agent evaluators usually fall into two categories: deterministic code and LLM-as-a-judge. Code is fast and reliable but limited to behavior that can be expressed as explicit logic. LLM judges can evaluate open-ended agent behavior, but they add cost, latency, and variance. This project tests a third option: Jev, TypeSafe AI's System One decision model. We compare Jev with GPT-5.6 Luna, GPT-5.6 Terra, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 on the same fixed agent runs, measuring binary accuracy, score reliability, cost, and latency.

Highlights

  • Across 500 repeated does_pass decisions per judge, Jev matched every human label for 100.0% accuracy versus 99.8% Terra, 96.4% Luna, and 80.0% Sonnet.
  • Jev's mean per-case quality variance was 0.0000149; Luna was 433x higher, Terra 913x higher, and Claude 92x higher.
  • Five cases (Seattle, Austin, Dublin, Tokyo, Springfield) were captured once and reused so only the judges introduced variation.
  • The README calls this a small corpus with one human reviewer and states it is not a general ranking of judge accuracy.

Quickstart

bash
cp .env.example .env
# Add your API keys to .env

Watch out

No license file, so reuse terms are unclear. Needs Python 3.13+, plus TypeSafe, Tavily, and workspace-scoped LangSmith API keys; the results come from five runs and one human reviewer.
