    Quite impressed by the energy people are putting into making OSS Jev-like models.

    I understand the hype but I wonder: what are the use cases for this kind of model? Could it be used in the context of coding agents, or is it more relevant in totally different situations?

      There is an enormous amount of time that goes into ticket and other triaging admin across industries. Its use cases go beyond that, but that alone would save a huge number of person-hours.

        Why would you use Jev over Sol/Sonnet though?

        Speed/cost benefits of Jev are mostly useless for triage.

        Feels like you would be using a dumber model to achieve worse results.

        If all you have is a Jev, everything looks like it can be solved with a classifier?
