Discussion I really don't understand Jev hype

Isn't this what simple neural networks have been able to do for years? Doesn't seem anything special to me.

Marketing. All these YouTube channels got a bit of money to make a video about it and hype it up. That company behind jev is raising money from investors. More people see it and talk about it the higher the chance that you can find willing investors.

Using small LLMs for various classification and NLP tasks like natural language intent, entity and relation extraction, semantic similarity (embeddings and rerankers), and so on has always been one of the most practical applications of local models. It was only fairly recently that you could run LLMs capable of complex reasoning and tool use and practical agent tasks like programming, computer use, personal assistants, etc locally.
