In plain words

Poker Simulation Using WebAssembly and Web Workers is a poker game built with modern web technologies. It runs poker simulations using WebAssembly for computational performance and Web Workers for parallel processing, allowing complex calculations to happen efficiently in the browser. The project is hosted on GitHub. It's designed for developers interested in exploring how WebAssembly and Web Workers can handle computationally intensive tasks in web applications, particularly for game simulation and probability analysis.

    I was curious to see how some of the latest models behaved and played no limit texas holdem. I built this website which allows you to: Spectate: Watch different models play against each other. Play: Create your own table and play hands against the agents directly.

    PokerBench is my attempt at a new LLM benchmark wherein frontier models play Texas Hold'em in an arena setting. It also features a simulator to view individual games and observe how the different models reason about poker strategy. Opus/Haiku, Gemini Pro/Flash, GPT-5.2/5 mini, and Grok 4.1 Fast Reasoning have all been included. All code -> https://github.com/JoeAzar/pokerbench
