Simple Jev Project

A local server and Python package that runs open models with Hugging Face Transformers or PyTorch and returns Choice, Score, and Noul answers read from next-token logits instead of generated JSON.

About this project

Use compatible open models from huggingface, for structured classification and scoring, without training a separate classifier head. Explore the demos, playground, and documentation at simple-jev.featherless.ai. Send shared context and a set of questions. Simple Jev reads the model's next-token logits for each question and builds a JSON response containing choices, rubric scores, or truth/support judgments. The model does not generate a JSON completion: the server constructs the response from the scores.

Quoted from the project's README. Read the full README.

Highlights

  • The server builds JSON responses from next-token logits, so nothing is generated and usage.output_tokens is always zero.
  • A public demo API needs no login or key, with a 2k-token context limit and 2 requests per second; Featherless paid plans raise the limits.
  • Backends cover a Hugging Face server, a native Laya Typed Decisions encoder with a 1,024-token-per-question default, and RFDT fine-tuning scripts.
  • usage.input_tokens counts unique token prefixes and shares the common context across the questions in a request.
  • Ships a playground and documentation at simple-jev.featherless.ai plus a shared common/ module for validation, prompt planning, and scoring.

Quickstart

bash
git clone https://github.com/featherless-ai/simple-jev.git
cd simple-jev
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e './hf-server'
python hf-server/hf_server.py --model Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B --device cpu --dtype float32

Watch out

Apache-2.0. Needs Python 3.12+ and downloaded weights; the demo API is limited to 2k tokens and 2 RPS, and calibration varies by model.
