I’ve put a ton of tokens through Jev now, and...I have thoughts. 1. The big labs lost the script TypeSafe’s intro video says, “We’re building prod, not God” — and can I just say? Hell yeah.

@typesafeai built something for engineers like me, so I can build products for people like your mom (she says hi btw). They’re not trying to create “Machines of Loving Grace”; they’re trying to build things that let OTHER HUMAN BEINGS create new types of products.

The proof is in the pudding. When ChatGPT shipped, we were all blown away by…ChatGPT. When Jev shipped, we were all blown away by what everyone was making with it.

I cannot tell you how refreshing this is. It takes a sincere form of humility to believe that you, the creator of a technology, will not be the best at deploying the technology into the marketplace.

The big labs, especially Anthropic, have proven not to have this humility…and now everyone hates AI. Thanks, Dario. I guess what I’m saying is: Diogo for president.

I cannot tell you how much bending and twisting I've had to do with LLMs to get them to act like a classifier when they just weren’t. I’m absolutely shocked this is the first time this “type” of model has come to market.

These models will unlock AI utility for entire industries: robotics, trucking, aviation, meteorology, finance, defense, retail…even your smart coffee mug is going to use this.

3. It’s still too expensive Jev is really, really cheap compared to LLMs. But you don’t use it like an LLM. In my full self-driving example, or any robotics example, you’ll be making decisions several times per second continuously. The #1 value proposition of a model like this is speed and cost.
