    Is this named like Jev intentionally? Or is this just a new naming convention that I haven't been watching?

      Maybe it’s one of those weird LLM smells, like the OpenAI goblin problem.

      I&#x27;m sure this is not the origin, but Bez is a celebrity in England, a member of a 90s band called happy Mondays who didn&#x27;t sing or play anything but just danced. Famous on the panel show circuit

        Author here, yes this is the origin. I was trying similar names and a friend reminded me of Bez. Done.
