Highlights

  • Sol vs Jev in a Clash Royale-style tower battle where every move is a real model call through OpenRouter and the match clock keeps running while a model thinks.

  • Against Sol, Jev won 3-0 with the king tower falling at 28.7s, averaging 0.20s per decision versus 4.0s, at $0.000065 versus $0.0039, about 61x cheaper.
  • Against Luna (openai/gpt-6-luna) over three matches, Jev won all three at 0.17-0.18s versus 4.2-5.5s per decision, about $0.000067 versus $0.0002.

Watch out

README reviewed 2026-10-17; the captured excerpt cuts off in the 'How it works' section, so the runner code, decision schema, setup and API key requirements are not visible, and results come from the repo's own archived matches.
