I went to a Jev hackathon to find out why the new AI model is taking San Francisco by storm

TypeSafe's Jev has taken San Francisco developers by storm and could mark a shift in AI. At a hackathon, engineers rushed to build software with Jev.

A popular new AI model named Jev, developed by an ex-OpenAI researcher, is making waves in San Francisco's tech scene. The model, created by TypeSafe AI, differs from traditional large language models (LLMs) by making decisions rather than generating text. Jev is fast, cheap, and excels at specific tasks, such as classifying and moderating online chats.

At a Jev hackathon held at CodeRabbit's office, developers showcased how they've integrated Jev into their products, praising its speed and cost-effectiveness. Venture capitalists are also taking notice, with reports of TypeSafe receiving investment offers at a $10 billion valuation. Jev's unique approach has sparked excitement within the tech community, with some developers reporting significant improvements in their code and tools.
