En un coup d’œil

  • Frontier LLMs treated as 'god' are expensive and slow

    Frontier LLMs are increasingly treated like a 'god'—used for any fuzzy-input task—but this generality incurs high cost and latency on every call, even when only a binary decision is needed.

  • Jev benchmarks up to 200x faster and 400x cheaper on narrow decisions

    On narrow decision tasks like routing and classification—common in agent architectures—TypeSafe's benchmarks show Jev achieving up to 200x higher speed and 400x lower cost compared to leading LLMs.

  • AI-powered software splits control between code and models

    AI-powered software adopts a middle path: deterministic code retains structural control and exact computation, while models handle only semantic judgment at decision branches—unlike traditional software (fully explicit) or agents (fully model-driven).

AI model cost and performance

Frontier LLMs treated as 'god' are expensive and slow

Extrait original

As frontier LLMs have gotten more capable, we've started treating them like god, reaching for them for any task with fuzzy inputs: prose generation, document extraction, search, ranking, research, classification, and more. Unfortunately, god is expensive, and slow. You pay for that generality on every call, even when all you needed was a yes or no.
AI model benchmarking

Jev benchmarks up to 200x faster and 400x cheaper on narrow decisions

Extrait original

That's why Jev's launch drew so much attention. On narrow decision tasks, like the routing and classification steps many agents are built around, TypeSafe's benchmarks show Jev running up to 200x faster and 400x cheaper than leading LLMs.
AI software architecture

AI-powered software splits control between code and models

Extrait original

TypeSafe's docs lay out three ways to build software. Traditional software is made of explicit logic, with every branch written out by hand and auditable, but rigid as a result. Agents swung the other way: one model juggles decisions at every step, and control flow moves out of code and into prompts. AI-powered software takes the middle path. Code keeps the structure and handles exact computation, and a model sits only at the branches that need semantic judgment.
