It is compared with 19 LLMs in frontier, representative and small tiers. Jev is competitive with frontier LLMs on knowledge and commonsense tasks, and best on MMLU-Redux and ARC-Challenge. It beats most representative LLMs and all small ones outside math, but is 17.7 points below the frontier median on MathQA and scores lower than all 19 LLMs there. This suggests specialized decision models can match general LLMs on knowledge-driven decisions but not on multi-step calculation.

Agent in a Bottle: Can LLM Agents Turn Their Capabilities Into Cheap, Scalable Artifacts?This paper introduces BOTTLED, a benchmark testing whether LLM agents can autonomously convert their general task-solving ability into cheaper, scalable artifacts (e.g., training a small distilled model or writing a reusable program) when faced with millions of similar queries under fixed time, compute, and API budgets, a capability the authors call bottling. Across ten models and three tasks, the authors find zero-shot performance does not reliably predict bottling success: 48 of 60 runs scored below their own model's zero-shot confidence interval, and 31 of 60 underperformed simple small-model distillation baselines. Despite this, strong agents like Opus 5 can retain about 82% of zero-shot macro-F1 at about 657x lower cost on query-product relevance classification, and recover about 94% of a dedicated cheap-inference model's (Jev) performance at a quarter of its cost.

Jev beats Laya on 9 of 11 decision points by 10.8-46.0 percentage points, both models fail at zero-shot model routing, and Laya flips 30 percent of answers under option reordering and degrades badly with many or similar candidates.

JevOut: Natural Context Can Flip Decision ModelsThis paper studies "decision models" like Jev, which map unstructured language directly to probability distributions over a fixed set of choices to drive routing, tool selection, and action triggering. The authors use an optimizer guided by the model's own option probabilities to craft short, fluent context additions that preserve the original question and gold answer yet flip the model's decision: 61.4% of initially correct decisions (312/508) are flipped for Jev, with 229 reaching β₯0.7 confidence in the wrong option, and three other decision systems show flip rates of 64.9%-73.2% across seven datasets. The results argue that treating these models' probability outputs as reliable decision interfaces is dangerous, since ordinary contextual phrasing β not adversarial-looking text β is enough to hijack them.

Using an optimizer that refines context additions based on the model's option probabilities, the authors flip 61.4% of initially correct decisions in Jev within 64 accepted evaluations, and 64.9%-73.2% across three other decision systems on seven datasets.

On the full AndroidWorld benchmark it matches VLM-based baselines (79% task success vs. 78% for SeeAct-V and 84% for a Step-wise VLM baseline) while cutting mean execution time by 32.7% and model API cost by 73.4% relative to the Step-wise VLM approach.

llm-typesafe is a plugin for Simon Willison's LLM CLI that adds support for TypeSafe AI's Jev model, exposing three structured answer types: "noul" (probabilistic yes/no scoring), "choice" (classification into a set of labeled categories), and "score" (rubric-based scoring against ordered criteria). It lets users pipe text into the CLI with a system prompt and get back structured JSON judgments, useful for tasks like routing support messages or triaging bug reports by severity.

mu is a coding agent built on the pi framework that introduces a "judgment kernel": a small, fast auxiliary model (Jev, a hosted judge, or Laya, a local 322M-parameter model) answers bounded yes/no/choice/score questions at 35 named decision points per turn β deciding what stays in context, whether a tool call is risky, when a turn is done, and what one agent should tell another β so the large working model doesn't spend tokens/attention on bookkeeping. It also ships a "hive" multi-agent mode (2-6 read-only "bees" plus a main editing agent) with an append-only shared board and relation-checking (supersedes/contradicts/supports) between findings, plus a native desktop app with live judgment/board/hive views.

A Chinese translation (with original source notes) of a design essay synthesizing TypeSafe founder Diogo Almeida's notes on 'Jev,' a typed decision model that drives a coding-agent harness. It argues coding agents are simple loops whose real leverage lies in how context is assembled each turn, and works through six problems inherited from KV-cache-driven, append-only context design: costly model routing, tool-schema bloat, lossy compaction, rare sub-agents, destructive session restarts, and the built-in-capabilities tradeoff. It proposes fixes including query-aware context scoring/visibility tiers, cost-aware routing that accounts for cache reprocessing, tiered tool disclosure, conditional AGENTS.md loading, and shared read-only background retrieval.

Simon Willison reviews Jev, a new class of model from TypeSafe AI dubbed "System One models" (or "decision models"): instead of generating text, it takes a text/structured "state" plus one or more yes/no ("Noul"), multiple-choice, or scored-range questions and returns floating point probabilities/confidence scores, priced at $0.042/million input tokens with free output. The post covers real use cases (classification, spam detection, search reranking over BM25 candidates), community experiments (jevchat, jev-leftpad, jev-2048), open-weight recreations built on Qwen 3.5 (the Kev models and JevBench benchmark), and raises concerns about the model's black-box nature and bias risk, plus Willison's own llm-typesafe plugin for the LLM CLI tool.

Jev: System One models for Prod, not God β with Diogo Almeida, CEO, TypeSafe AILatent Space interview with Diogo Almeida, CEO of TypeSafe AI and an InstructGPT co-author, on the launch of Jev, a "System One" model built for software/programmatic consumption rather than chat. Almeida argues RLHF causes mode collapse and hallucination-inducing overconfidence and RLVR narrows models into jagged rubric-solvers, and describes TypeSafe's alternative training target, RLCD (Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions), which optimizes for epistemically calibrated probabilities on discrete decisions rather than human preference or verifiable rewards. The conversation also covers why TypeSafe rejects public benchmarks and refusal-based safety alignment for API models, his "Bitterest Lesson" thesis that task/data design beats compute, and how Jev is meant to be used inside coding agents, dark-data pipelines, and other software rather than as a chatbot.

It uses Jev, TypeSafe's calibrated decision model, to answer a typed yes/no probability per rule per diff instead of a full LLM call, making it cheap (~300ms, fractions of a cent per turn) enough to check every edit; violations above a threshold are fed back to the agent to repair in the same turn.

pi-jev is an npm extension (@y0usaf/pi-jev) that adds a typed decision layer to the Pi coding agent: a gate scores pending bash/write/edit tool calls on destructiveness, exfiltration risk, scope, and impact before they run, while an output judge scans bash results for leaked secrets and classifies command failures (retry/environment/code_bug/permission/user_error). Answers come back as probabilities or choice distributions rather than prose, are batched into one API round trip to api.typesafe.ai, cached per input, and fail open on any error so a dead endpoint never blocks the agent. The README documents calibration work behind the thresholds (e.g. destructive=0.90, leak=0.90) derived from repeated fixture runs, and details argument/output truncation and key redaction to limit what leaves the machine.
