Laya vs tev1 vs nimble: three local models duel in identical Pac-Man mazes
ollama · x · 2026-10-01
A developer built a fair arena on an Apple Silicon Mac where three local decision models—Laya (MLX), tev1:4b and nimble (Ollama)—each play Pac-Man in identical seeded mazes.
- At every decision all three receive character-for-character identical state and candidate paths, each in its native input format
- Each model returns a lettered path choice; everything runs locally
- Open-source repo includes 30-game results and reproducibility docs
A fun, controlled benchmark of local small models' game-playing decisions.
