A working note on Jev harnesses for coding agents

A pointer to Diogo Almeida's independent working note on building a Jev harness for coding agents, including why harnesses already make these calls badly.

Highlights

  • Frames harnesses as already making these calls, just with regex parsing.
  • Notes the note is independent and not affiliated with the Jev team.
  • Structured in sections, starting with the split between harness and model.

Watch out

Jev is the "Internet" moment for the AI industry It tells your agents and LLMs what to do next, in milliseconds and at almost zero cost If you set it up correctly, you will have the AI engineer’s stack for 2028 In this article, I show you how x.com/i/article/2077…

LLMs generate answers, Jev makes decisions

this is the easiest way to understand Jev: LLMs generate answers. Jev makes decisions. that sounds like a small difference, but it actually changes the entire use case. say you give a normal LLM this: “here’s a user, their account history, payment behavior, support chats, Show more

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x

Arbitrary classification as a primitive

Jev is cool not because it re-invented classification, but because it makes ARBITRARY classification into a type-safe programmable primitive. A general purpose zero shot decision model whose native interface is RUNTIME-DEFINED typed decisions, optimized for that exact interface

If you called Yann LeCun an idiot for saying we need to move beyond LLMs and build something new, you are banned from using Jev.

They were building in stealth for 2 years, I was building in stealth for 2 hours… Happy to open source Qwen-2.5-1B-RLCD, 5x faster on-device inference for JSON workloads that need to be type-safe. ⚡️Demo below on a M4 MacBook⚡️ every LLM has the ability to efficiently batch
