Show HN: Jevman – AI decision models play Pac-Man

2026-10-08 @ 16:34:13Points: 51Comments: 10

We wanted to put the popular ones to the test and thought Pac-Man is a good benchmark for simple and fast decision making.

So we let jev 1.13, kev, clef, clef flash, GPT-6 Luna and Laya play Pac-Man against bot ghosts.

The low latency of these models allows for real time play. We had each model play 100 games, published a leader board and open-sourced the repo so anyone can run their own model and join the ranking. Link to repo: https://github.com/opper-ai/jevman-benchmark/blob/main/CONTR...

You can also join the game and play as Pac-Man yourself, and the ghosts are the models, either a mix of models or all jev, kev, clef etc. A game costs about 2 cent, all models are running via my startup opper, and we added free credits for everyone to try.

It's pretty fun to play and surprisingly difficult to beat jev's highscore. Any feedback is more than welcome!

Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7?

2026-10-06 @ 23:16:56Points: 172Comments: 265

I'm a Linux guy and have on many points of my life have a personal server. So I like the idea of having something always on, but I’m not sure the maintenance is worth it when most things can just run on my laptop.

That said, I tend to do things myself and only later realize I could have automated or delegated them, so I may have a blind spot here.

If you have a cheap VPS or mini PC, what actually ended up being useful long-term? Anything that saved enough time or replaced enough subscriptions to justify keeping it around?
