This is one of several Jev listings for the same project. The canonical entry is Open Jev — nico-martin.

About this project

Local, bilingual probability decisions from your context, questions, and candidate answers. Open JEV is an independent open-source alternative project inspired by TypeSafe's Jev. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by TypeSafe. It does not contain Jev's proprietary code, weights, or RLCD implementation. The project name does not imply an official open-source release of Jev.

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

Highlights

  • Runs inference locally with no paid API; the backend is a frozen Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507, about 8 GB pinned and 4 GB for the MLX 8-bit copy.
  • Returns a choice and relative probabilities only over the supplied candidates, with no added answer or abstention option.
  • Limits: 2 to 8 candidates per question, 4,096 full prompt tokens per question, 16 questions in the UI and 100 in the API.
  • Questions run sequentially and re-encode the context; shared-context computation is planned, not delivered.
  • The README states it is not affiliated with TypeSafe and contains none of Jev's code, weights, or RLCD implementation.

Watch out

Project code is Apache-2.0, but third-party models and datasets keep their own licenses and no TypeSafe/Jev branding rights are granted; tested only on an Apple M3 with 16 GB, and the bundle does not support full evaluation reproduction.
