# lonely 20 questions

### so how does this work?
        

jev isn't an llm. it doesn't generate text. all it does is generate probabilities of choices i give it.
        

so in context, for every user 10 random nouns are picked from wonder words, jev decides whats the easiest
          to guess and
          uses
          that word.
        

every time you ask a question jev evaluates if question is yes or no, and if the question means you know
          what
          the word is.

we send those results back to the user, and that's the game.

if you want to try out jev yourself & you're a teenager check out
