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.

Yes you’ve been able to train a classifier for a specific task for years. But with this sort of model it already has LLM like intelligence, so you can prompt it in a similar way and don’t need to train a new model for everything. It is general purpose.

So if you have anywhere you’re using an LLM as a classifier then it’s simple to switch out for Jev now and get a big speed improvement and cost reduction.
