    Shouldn’t this article be about the disadvantages of using TypeSafe’s Jev as a classifier?

    This is a bit of an outdated take as of two days ago. Dear lord things move fast these last few years. Some of this is still relevant. Fine tuning Jev once available could address certain concerns.

    (Very excited as I got an invite email for TypeSafe today! I don’t have time for all the little experiments I want to run with Jev and Astra combined!)

      Heh. I got access yesterday. Worked really well to have Claude take my task and convert it into a batch of questions for Jev, firing 100 records through it and then aggregating the results.

      I see a bunch of people saying that there were already similar solutions in this space. Maybe true but it definitely feels like the missing primitive for working with llms. Can immediately see how it can be deployed in real applications in a way that the autoregressive chat approach can’t.
