Open source tool distills Jev so you can run it locally

Jevstiller targets 98% agreement by learning familiar requests on your hardware while sending uncertain and audited queries upstream

Open source tool distills Jev so you can run it locally

Jevstiller is an open source project that distills the outputs of Jev, an AI tool that answers questions in a cheap and quick manner, into a local model. This local model can handle some of Jev's requests more efficiently, reducing the need for expensive token usage and faster response times. The model constructed by Jevstiller is small and fast, and if successful, can achieve 98 percent overall agreement with Jev.

Jevstiller works by first learning from Jev's responses to various queries, and then using this knowledge to answer similar questions locally. If it's confident in its ability to answer a question, it does so without needing to send the request to Jev. However, if the local model is unsure or encounters a difficult question, it forwards the request to Jev.

The accuracy of Jevstiller's responses is not guaranteed, as it's still an AI model that can make mistakes. But by continuously auditing its responses against Jev's, Jevstiller aims to maintain a high level of agreement with the original AI tool.

An Agent Fleet, Sorted By Job

"We have agents" is about as informative as "we have software". The question is what they do, when they run and who notices when one stalls. Ours grew into a fleet step by step.

  • Agent fleets are organized groups of specialized software agents
  • Leadership agents summarize agent work and generate reports
  • Review agents provide unbiased, critical analysis of agent work

Backend Uptime Alerts from One-Minute Metrics API Polling and Failure Evidence

A one-minute poller is only useful if it preserves enough evidence to explain an outage after the alert fires. For a gaming backend, the practical choice is to evaluate a low-cardinality availability…

  • One-Minute Metrics API polls backend uptime at one-minute intervals.
  • Separate detection and diagnosis for incident records with timestamps and error context.
  • Node.js worker handles uptime polling with state machine and business policy thresholds.

I Built a Customer Support Agent That Remembers With Hindsight

The most frustrating thing about customer support is not always the problem itself. It is having to explain the same problem again after someone already knows the history.

  • Priya's Wi-Fi drops prompted Netgear router troubleshooting
  • RecallAI uses Hindsight for long-term memory in customer support
  • Customer isolation ensures Priya's router info doesn't mix with others
