    > The problem: thinking models think too much

    This is partly the appeal of Jev et al; having a quick model for simple tasks, that doesn’t require that much thinking

    It’s amazing all the workflows that models like that can unlock. And yes, classifiers and other ML models have been around for a while for these types of tasks, but Jev has made it easy and cheap to play and experiment. This in turn, is incentivizing people to try them for a bunch of stuff, unlocking creativity and producing a lot of new cool (and eventually potentially very useful) applications

      What are the useful applications of Jev so far? Not to sound dismissive, I just haven’t seen what people are using it for yet.

        Lots of use cases! I've personally used it for the following:

        1. Evals (once you have your rubric defined and tuned using a reasoning model, jev can be great for running periodic evals especially those that run daily.

        2. e-commerce catalog classification 3. quick search using anything as context and query mapping to a pre-defined set.

          At least for 1, evils, you’d want to use a good old reasoning model to get the best eval results.
