About the AI players
Laya is an open-source decision model running on our own server. The difficulty slider adjusts planning effort: higher levels consider more possible continuations and solve small endgames against the best replies. Your selected model chooses the final move from the resulting candidates at every level. The model itself stays the same; higher settings are not a guarantee of winning. It is an experimental opponent, not a solved-game engine. Jev is a hosted decision model from TypeSafe. Both players use the same planning system and difficulty settings. Your live game is saved in this browser; AI turns send board history to our server. For Jev moves, candidate summaries go to TypeSafe. Batch results are stored on our server temporarily.
