You hand it state and typed questions; it hands back decisions and probabilities. It costs $0.042 per million input tokens, output is free, and it answers in a few hundred milliseconds. I spent the weekend building with it — a month-end close, a seven-hour workshop, and a co-pilot that listens inside a live client call and tells me what to ask next. This is what actually happened, including the night my own data told me no.\n\nJev, by TypeSafe AI. Not a chatbot, not a smaller LLM, and not a replacement for one. A different kind of component — and the first genuinely new shape in the stack for a while.\n\nIn this episode:\n🍳 Imagine the call (00:10) — you're forty minutes into a client meeting and they say the thing that decides the deal. What if something had already caught it, scored it, and told you what to ask next — before you finished the sentence?\n🤖 A model that talks to software, not to you (04:10) — for two years every AI in your company has been something you speak to like a human. Jev inverts that. State in, typed judgment out. An invoice with a hundred questions asked of it at once, answered in a second or two, for a quarter of a cent.\n🎲 The three questions (07:36) — Noul (is this true, as a probability), Choice (pick one of these), Score (rate it on this rubric). That's the whole vocabulary. Everything else is your code. Which is the point people miss: Jev judges, your code decides.\n🏢 TypeSafe, and the 193× claim (13:16) — San Francisco, founded 2024, out of stealth on 15 September with $40M led by DCVC. Founder Diogo Almeida worked on RLHF and InstructGPT at OpenAI. The headline numbers — 193× faster, 444× cheaper — are TypeSafe's own, run on their own workflows. I say so on air, and you should too.\n🧪 The first test (19:07) — what we actually tried, and where I was wrong about it.\n💸 2.6 cents (22:09) — the number that reframes everything. That same job on a large language model isn't 2.6...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/K89WOul5lFP6eyTkepgc48DwnmOLDjvzPf-VdoMUwqc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84Y2I2/YTZiNWNmNGE5NmYy/NzE4ZTAyMTYxYjNh/ZmM5Zi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
