AI CLI

No. The decide path (evaluate is a backward-compatible alias) calls the SDK's experimental_evaluate and always prints JSON on stdout, with no files written and no --json flag. It returns typed answers with probabilities: P(true) for Boolean, one supplied option plus its distribution for Choice, and a probability-weighted mean over your levels for Score. Use `ai text` when you want prose.

No. The CLI does not add the current date, so a question about today has no reference unless you supply one in the state. It also advises keeping exact arithmetic, counting, age cutoffs, and date comparisons in code; TypeSafe documents numeric and date limitations in Jev 1.13. Typed output does not guarantee correct judgments.

Any key that reaches an evaluation provider works. Node.js 22+ is required, and it takes AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY with access to the evaluation provider or a provider-specific key such as OPENAI_API_KEY. The default is typesafe-ai/jev; -m overrides it and `ai models --type evaluation` lists what is available.

For image and video, exit 1 means every model result was unsuccessful, including a partial result that still saved files, while exit 2 means some models succeeded and others did not. Successful calls are saved even when a batching limit splits the request. On decide, valid evaluations exit 0 even when answers are false or uncertain; input errors, timeouts and invalid answers exit 1 with no partial JSON.

Install globally with npm install -g ai-cli. It needs Node.js 22 or newer and an AI Gateway API key or a provider-specific key such as OPENAI_API_KEY, and it is published under Apache-2.0.

Repeat the typed flags, such as --boolean and --choice, or pass a JSON file of named questions with --questions. All questions share one unchanged input, each needs a unique ID, and duplicate IDs are errors.

Always JSON, with no --json flag needed and no files created. The output is the SDK result with answers, usage, warnings and response, plus optional rounding and providerMetadata; native confidence stays in provider metadata rather than beside the option probabilities.
