   Don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but these past two weeks have seen what looks to be a coordinated campaign to boost Jev. Am I out of the loop or is this so revolutionary it warrants getting so much coverage on HN and other professional sites?

      It's definitely revolutionary, considering AI news is ~50% of the front page at any given time, and the frontier models are all pretty much doing the same thing and just getting slightly better. This is a whole different technology, it's cheap and fast, and it's usefulness at different tasks is still being established. Amazing for hackers!

      JEV directly addresses many of the most common issues with LLMs for certain applications. It seems IMO to be overhyped right now but I think it may, like the broader llm ecosystem, be here to stay.

      There's definitely a level of inauthenticity in the hype, but that's a function of the times we're in.

      Revolutionary? With an appropriate harness could could do the same thing with the vast majority of modern large language models.

      It's just so much faster and so much cheaper that it feels qualitatively different.

      I also think it represents a bit of validation for folks looking for ways to bake models into hardware. Sometimes it's perfectly appropriate to sacrifice good for fast and cheap. I haven't asked Jev to do anything that GPT-3.5 would have likely done worse with.

      The fly brain thing on the other hand.
