    I am hearing about Jev for the first time here so no idea about the hype. So their(Jev) is that the thing is faster at classification than a frontier model? Because the whole type safe aspect is already fully solvable with structured output. But their example is classification but that would also be possible and faster with a classic BERT model. So their pitch is a task specific smaller model or am I completely misunderstanding the whole thing?

      Not particularly. There is still the problem of hallucinations and varying results across runs.

      That's more of what type-safety means for their team. Every run gives the same results. It's type-safe

        This seems like an unusual definition of type safety. I certainly understand how every run deterministically giving the same schema (type) of data is a requirement to be "type-safe", but in my mind the content of the result is not relevant to the question of type safety. Am I not getting it?
