cube-lab
3D Rubik's Cube app where local planners simulate candidate move sequences and Jev picks one at each of seven solving stages.
Overview
Cube Lab is an interactive 3D Rubik's Cube web app, documented in Chinese, that solves the cube with the seven-step beginner method. For each stage, local planners such as a reverse breadth-first search over the relevant pieces generate candidate formulas, simulate them, and keep only those that preserve completed work. Jev then chooses which candidate to execute, or chooses to pause.
It includes real recorded turning sounds, animations, a timer, local saving and a one-click mode that runs all remaining stages. In one-click mode, if Jev pauses, returns an invalid candidate or a malformed response, the executor falls back to a locally simulated safe candidate ranked by progress and move count. Every actual turn is checked against an independent simulation. Deployment options include Netlify with a same-origin Jev proxy function or a ModelScope Docker Studio.
What the decision model decides
| Type | Question | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Choice | Which simulated candidate formula should be executed for this stage (or pause)?(inferred) | — |
How it works
- Read the real sticker state of the cube
- Local planner generates and simulates candidate formulas
- Jev selects a candidate or pause
- Execute with animation and verify; fall back to the best safe local candidate on invalid output
Strengths
- Jev only picks among pre-verified candidates
- Deterministic fallback keeps solving on errors
- Every move checked against a simulation
Caveats
- Jev adds little beyond choosing among already-valid plans
- Documentation is in Chinese
- Requires a Jev API key
Getting started
Run node server.js (Node.js 18+), open the local page, and enter a Jev API key under AI settings.At a glance

Frequently asked questions
Does Jev solve the cube itself?
No, local planners generate verified candidates and Jev chooses among them.
What if Jev returns something invalid?
In one-click mode the executor falls back to a locally simulated safe candidate.
How do I run it?
node server.js with Node 18+, then enter your Jev key in settings.
