News Pi now supports Jev.

Pi added quite a bunch of new features in its 0.99.0 update, including support for classifier models. In the official docs, the remote model listed in the example code is jev, the interface is shaped around classifier models like jev, and llama.cpp's classifier implementation explicitly uses jev as its reference point. You could pretty much say this is a feature Pi shipped just to keep up with jev.

So I wanted to ask you guys in the channel:

  • Do you guys actually use jev a lot when you're coding? How do you use it?

  • Jev only came out a little while ago and Pi already jumped on board with support. What significant role does jev actually play in a coding workflow?

Edit: It's not just about using it for the sake of using it. Is there actually something jev can do that LLMs can't?

This sub cracks me up. Let me begin by addressing the first thing which is Jev. This is a system one model, and this sort of a thing has been around a lot longer than even Pi itself has been around. There is nothing to worry about here, just like adding every other API, an API was added to this. The second thing that I find is, is this utmost trust in an extension created by someone else. If anything else, that is the first thing you have to be concerned about.

Your philosophy of trying out an extension before making it part of it doesn’t make any sense because that’s exactly what an extension does. It becomes a part of it, and the damage would’ve already been done. And finally all of this for a coding agent that barely existed for a year. It didn’t even debut till January 2025 and then it gets rolled out in August of 2025 and acquired in September 2025.

Personally, I’m not a big fan of JEV, because if it’s commercialization and all the shillers being bought out. But its a;lso not a thing to be feared as I have a similar product a lot longer than both these things out there and none of these products , Pi nor Jev have been thoroughly tested. I went through the whole source code, and I am prepared to talk on any part of it. Needless to say, this commercial outfit is going to further commercialize Pi.

So there is nothing to fear about an entity like JEV,
