Jev + Astra beats the Ender Dragon in Minecraft in 8 minutes 43 seconds! ⏱️ Cost less than $1 ($0.01 Jev, $0.96 Astra) I open sourced the code and explain the harness setup below. This type of movement is only possible with Jev's near instant decisionmaking, and some continually learning skills from Astra.

got @typesafeai’s new model Jev to play Super Mario Bros. fast inference + structured outputs makes it surprisingly good for real time use cases. I'm excited to see what can be done with these new models!
