Jev AI: what it is, how to use it, how to sell it
Jev isn't a chat model — it's a decision model, TypeSafe's "System One Model." One call returns a typed, probability-scored decision, and the company's own benchmarks claim it's hundreds of times faster and cheaper than using an LLM for classification (independently unverified). Here's the full on-ramp: what it is, how to call it, and three sellable scenarios.
