I went to a Jev hackathon to find out why the new AI model is taking San Francisco by storm
A new AI model called Jev, developed by an ex-OpenAI researcher, is gaining significant traction in San Francisco for its speed and decision-making capabilities. Unlike traditional LLMs, Jev focuses on structured, probabilistic outputs for coding tasks, attracting substantial venture capital interest.
Why it matters
The shift toward specialized, high-speed decision-making models represents a potential evolution beyond general-purpose chatbots in the AI industry.
Engineers work at a hackathon held for Jev at CodeRabbit's office in San Francisco. Stephen Council/BI An ex-OpenAI researcher built Jev, a popular new AI model that takes a different approach than LLMs. The model is made for code, makes decisions in milliseconds, and includes probabilities in answers. Developers at a Saturday hackathon told Business Insider what they're building with the new tool. When a new twist on AI called Jev arrived this month, San Francisco's tech scene responded as it does: lots of hype, and then a hackathon . Jev is a new and viral AI model built by the startup TypeSafe AI, and developers are flocking to try it out. Jev's launch video from mid-September has racked up almost 40 million views on X, throwing founder Diogo Almeida into the spotlight. Notably, Jev marks a break from large language models (LLMs) at OpenAI and Anthropic.
