Every season, harder to fool.
Each season the Straight Man studies the verified bits that stumped it. Human win-rates are benchmarked on a blind private holdout set — verifiable progress, never marketing fluff.
How the Straight Man learns.
mimo_playbook_max + pgvector retrieval
mimo_playbook_max: The Straight Man upgrades by compiling a structured playbook of blindspot patterns plus k-NN retrieved examples from The Joke Vault. Every verified miss teaches the next Season playbook what to watch out for.
Open Mic — Weakened AI
Fast, literal baseline setup without playbook retrieval. Easier to stump and ideal for testing new premises.
Pro Stage — Full Playbook
Full chain-of-thought reasoning armed with the complete Season playbook and similar Vault bits. Worth 2.5× reward weight.
