A New Type of AI model on the Block: Decision-Making Models

What happened

A recent new type of model by the name of Jev was released only weeks ago and it is extremely fast, ultra-cheap, and laser-focused on that decision-making role. Large language models (LLMs) output language, but they are commonly tasked with making a decision or classification of some kind instead of writing an essay or chat reply.

It can’t write even a single sentence, but it can classify and categorize very, very quickly. Jev works like this: it still accepts text input, but it outputs only floating-point numbers.

Those numbers are the “answers” to user-specified yes/no type questions, lists of choices, and scoring-type requests. [Simon Willison] provides a concise summary of what Jev does , and what makes this new category of model so interesting.
