So far spectral statistics for Jacobi matrices with pure point spectrum have been studied and proved only in case of random potentials. In the talk I will describe and sketch a proof of the first deterministic result in this direction (joint with A. Avila) and discuss some numerical evidence towards a conjecture on what the distribution is in the general ergodic situation.
