Standard Agents' Jev decision model completes Pokémon Red in under a week
Andrew Boyd, founder of Standard Agents Inc., says his Jev decision model beat Pokémon Red's Elite Four and Champion, reaching the Hall of Fame on September 23, 2026, less than a week after the run began. Jev isn't a chatbot or LLM; it picks from lists of weighted options rather than reading the screen, while Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 monitored the game log and adjusted those options to help it when stuck. A harness changelog logged 474 fixes, including repeated failures like walking into a shut door 53 times and looping a ladder 124 times.
