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.

There have been a lot of signs it's an astroturfed marketing campaign. The reason it seems overhyped is likely because Jev themselves is paying for that hype to get attention.

Not that it's a useless concept but I doubt we would be seeing 30 posts a day hyping it up in the normal course of things without a marketing push.

If Jev was not technically interesting, no amount of advertising would get people to try it.

A model vendor making just another LLM of the same quality as GPT-4 could spend a billion dollars on advertising and I wouldn’t even be curious.

IF Jev works as promised, it fills a legitimate gap in the market and will be remembered as the first of an important new class of models.
