Highlights

  • Diogo Almeida, an ex-OpenAI engineer who co-wrote ChatGPT's core training techniques, built Jev for statement evaluation and decision-making.
  • TypeSafe says RLCD training plus parallel processing of independent questions explains Jev's speed and cost profile versus frontier models.
  • A call takes state plus statements like "Is the customer requesting a refund?" and answers with a confidence percentage before the code branches.
  • Context is capped at 64,000 tokens; extra context lowers accuracy, and Jev keeps no memory or global knowledge across requests.
  • The article notes Jev can still misclassify, read wording literally, or fall to adversarial attacks, with docs linking intent routing and citation checking.
