    That’s not even an attempt to be charitable to jev. It can make decisions from unstructured data. Nobody uses anything just because it is cheap…

      Yeah I think the Jev hype is weird... But this blog post is complete nonsense.

      Of course you aren't going to use Jev where you can easily make a decision deterministically with old-school programming. It's going to be used for stuff that might have previously been done by a person, e.g. reviewing app updates in app stores, reviewing CVs, labelling bugs, etc. Obviously that can already have inexplicable failures.

        It’s driven by a large “I want to believe” factor. A model that can do some of what an LLM can do, but is smaller, cheaper, faster? There’s huge demand for that, and Jev has exposed that demand.
