Is Jev That Good?

Diogo Almeida, who says he co-invented ChatGPT, released a new frontier AI model called Jev through his company typesafe.ai, claiming it is 20-200x faster and 40-400x cheaper than existing models with output tokens free forever at $0.042 per million input tokens. Almeida said he spent the last 2 years in stealth developing a new training method, RLCD, and that Jev is a "frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions" that cannot generate text. The release blog is at typesafe.ai/blog and a waitlist is open for early access.

The gains aren’t free: Jev can't generate text Comparing Jev vs LLMs side-by-side makes the trade-off clear Fun fact: replacing sequential computation with parallel is the same way Transformers leapfrogged RNNs

We believe that the future is code + AI, so made workflow evals to reflect that Jev costs: $42 / BILLION input tokens ($0.042 / MTok) and output tokens are free (forever - they’re too cheap to meter with our new architecture) Jev is named after Jevons paradox and off theShow more
