Highlights

  • Forkast reports a $40 million seed led by DCVC at a reported ~$200 million valuation, with co-founders Erik Gafni and Sasha Sheng.
  • It lists peak claims of 193.6x faster and 444.6x cheaper, about $0.0004 per decision and $0.042 per million input tokens.
  • Output tokens are priced at zero, which the company describes as "too cheap to meter".
  • It cites Every's test finding Jev roughly 25x faster and 580x cheaper than Claude Fable 5.1 on extraction tasks, 0.35s versus 8.83s per passage.
  • The constraints section notes Jev cannot generate free-form text, write code, draft documents, or hold conversations.

Watch out

The analysis is built on vendor figures and credited to an AI "Forkast mind", not independent measurement.

A Claude session from 1M to 86K tokens

This is actually insane. This uses @typesafeai Jev model, as a plugin in Claude to review all the un-nesseasary tool calls, and it takes 1s to run! Like, literally, 1 second to take my Claude session from nearly 1M to ... 86K tokens! 😮 Ask your claude to install it and be  Show more

found the perfect use case for @typesafeai Jev: instant compaction in 2026, why is compaction still a summarization prompt? Jev can make it instant by scoring every tool call and dropping what’s irrelevant

Vercel's fx safety reviewer, 18x faster

We're seeing extraordinary results from @typesafeai. Default mode in 𝚏𝚡 is auto, with a safety reviewer analyzing every command. That reviewer runs on GPT Luna today. Jev is up to 18x faster (p95) *and* more accurate. It's coming to @vercel AI Gateway and likely new default.
