Description
You write 8 text completions and open models score how predictable each word was too them. Predictable => clanker. You can share results with your friends.The scoring checks every word you write against the model's logprobs. Right now I'm using Llama3.1, Deepseek v3 and Qwen3 to keep costs low. I tried to calibrate it so other models (chatgpt/claude) score 100% and interesting human responses score in the 10-30% range.Totally free, no signup

Could you build this?
Yes The app queries public LLM provider APIs (like Together or OpenRouter) to inspect token logprobs against user-submitted or scraped text and shows the surprisal scores in a web UI.
