A pipeline that turns the process nvsh used to build its Tool-Jev model into a reusable factory for jev-like models, adding explicit knobs and a recorded decision step after every run, and then fine-tuning its own model to drive those decisions.

What does jev-like mean here?

A small, calibrated candidate scorer in the OpenJev style, described as nvsh's Track B, and explicitly not a generative tool caller. It produces a probability distribution over candidate actions and calibrates it before a gate turns it into a decision.

Is a model already trained?

No. The README states the factory exists but the first model is not yet trained: the first product, a jev-tool scorer whose candidates are the CLI's own verbs, is still pending, with the build brief in issue #1.

What is built so far?

The domain-module contract, the 23 jev run stages and the jev status, jev decide, jev ask and jev review commands are built and tested according to the README's status note.

How do candidates work?

The model reads one request plus up to 52 lettered candidate actions formatted as a name and description. Two controls, explain and escalate, are always offered alongside the candidates, per the README.

How are scores turned into decisions?

After calibration through a temperature and an optional per-label vector, a gate with separate thresholds for read-only and mutating actions converts the distribution into a decision, which is the part the digest excerpt truncates.

Who builds it and under what license?

Highlights

Generalizes the process nvsh used to build its Tool-Jev model into a reusable factory for jev-like models.
Status per README: the factory exists and is tested, but the first product, a jev-tool scorer, is not yet trained.
Built and tested: the domain-module contract, 23 jev run stages and the jev status, decide, ask and review commands.
A jev-like model is a calibrated candidate scorer, not a generative tool caller: it reads a request plus up to 52 lettered candidates.
Calibration is a temperature plus an optional per-label vector; a gate with separate read-only and mutating thresholds turns scores into decisions.

Watch out

README and GitHub metadata reviewed 2026-10-17; the excerpt truncates inside the gate description, so training data, benchmarks and the self-hosting loop are not evidenced. Apache-2.0; created 2026-09-26, last pushed 2026-10-17.

The Open Reimplementations: Local Models That Speak System One

Sep 22, 2026

Closed weights have not stopped the ecosystem from rebuilding the shape in the open. API-compatible servers, retrained heads on small models, and inference-time tricks that skip generation entirely.
