Lev — franckverrot
Open Jev-style decision model built on LiquidAI's LFM2.5-350M backbone, a clone of kev. Serves the System One API contract so the TypeSafe SDK works against a local server, returning probabilities for typed questions from one forward pass.

This is one of several Jev listings for the same project. The canonical entry is Lev — abhinavexists.
Highlights
- Open Jev-style decision model built on LiquidAI's LFM2.5-350M backbone, a clone of kev.
- Serves the System One API contract so the TypeSafe SDK works against a local server with a base_url change.
- Returns probabilities for every option of every typed question from a single forward pass; no text generation.
- Supports noul, choice (1-255 options), and score (2-255 ordered levels) question types.
- First start downloads a 25 MB adapter and the 710 MB LFM2.5-350M model.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
Requires Python 3.12+, uv, and Node 20+ for the playground. Clone the repo, run uv sync --extra serve, then uv run --extra serve python -m lev.serve --run franckverrot/lev-350m --port 8009.
It supports noul with optional true/false descriptions, choice with 1 to 255 options, and score with a list of 2 to 255 ordered levels. Each question has a type, instructions, and criteria.
The first start downloads the adapter (25 MB) and LFM2.5-350M (710 MB). The server then exposes POST /v1/systemone on the chosen port, such as 8009.
Yes. lev follows TypeSafe's System One API contract, so the typesafe-sdk works against a local lev server with a base_url change, using an api_key such as local and model lev-latest.
Probabilities are served with the checkpoint's calibration temperature from calibration.json next to the weights. GET /v1/models reports it, and LEV_TEMPERATURE=1 sets the temperature to 1.
Besides POST /v1/systemone, lev exposes GET /v1/models, POST /v1/systemone/permute for one Choice under N option orders, POST /v1/systemone/separate for each question in its own pass, and POST /v1/trace for x-ray data.
The project describes itself as mostly a prototype and a fun weekend experiment, though more bumpy than planned. It is not an LLM and does no text generation; it returns probabilities for typed questions.
