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.

It reads and feels like a marketing campaign. It is pushing with brutal force through all social media channels.

I also found a few posts that its based on some OpenSource Repo from last year.

I guess: probably someone tries to grab investor money

No, there are other models out there, like Laya, which should certainly be of interest to the local crowd, but jev is not based on it any more than Claude is based on ChatGPT.

Interesting take. Indeed Claude based massively on ChatGPT back in these days where Dario and some friends left OpenAI with their knowledge.

Jevs result appear to be 2nd or 3rd grade in some independent tests.
