Jepsen 0.3.14

Read on jepsen.io

Summary

Jepsen 0.3.14 is a minor release that improves generator performance and correctness, adds new generators, upgrades the web UI, and fixes time‑zone bugs. It’s a straightforward announcement with no deep technical discussion.

  • Focus on generator performance and correctness.
  • Introduces several new test generators.
  • Web interface improvements.
  • Fixes long‑standing time‑zone handling issues.

For teams that rely on Jepsen for distributed‑system correctness testing, the performance tweaks and new generators can reduce test runtime and broaden coverage, while UI and timezone fixes improve usability.

  3. Reverse-engineered Jev-like model

    Jevlike is an open‑source starter model that scores a list of text options in a single forward pass. It provides a minimal architecture (option queries, shared dot‑product scorer), synthetic data generation, training/evaluation CLI, and examples on Doom and chess. The repo supports a byte‑level encoder or a frozen Hugging‑Face encoder (e.g., Qwen2.5‑0.5B), runs on CPU/MPS/CUDA, and reports benchm…

  6. OpenJev

    OpenJev is a browser‑only demo that lets you load small LLM checkpoints (e.g., MiniCPM‑5 2B, Qwen3 0.6B) onto your GPU and compare two inference paths: reading raw logits for a set of options versus prompting the model to emit a JSON with option probabilities token‑by‑token. The page reports model sizes, download times, balanced accuracy on a few benchmarks, and wall‑clock timings measured with `…
