Jev as a Judge: What One Yes/No Question Catches, and What It Misses

Can a model that never writes text be your LLM judge? The best public test says one Jev question ranks backdoored code at AUROC 0.976 for about $0.04 per thousand checks. Here is where that holds, and where it breaks.

Jev Alternatives: When an LLM, GLiNER or Your Own Classifier Is the Better Tool

Jev Alternatives: When an LLM, GLiNER or Your Own Classifier Is the Better Tool

Jev turns text into typed decisions with probabilities. So do structured-output LLMs, zero-shot classifiers like GLiNER, and models you train yourself. What each one is better at, with the measured numbers where they exist.

fast-jev-compaction: Compaction Without the Summary

fast-jev-compaction: Compaction Without the Summary

A Claude Code plugin that replaces the compaction summary with Jev decisions: every tool call and result is scored, stale ones are dropped, and everything kept stays verbatim.

What a System One Model Is, and What It Is Not

What a System One Model Is, and What It Is Not

System One models return typed decisions and calibrated probabilities instead of generated text. What that means, how RLCD differs from RLHF, and where the independent evidence is still thin.

What One Jev Evaluation Costs, Measured

What One Jev Evaluation Costs, Measured

We made 11 real Jev calls across every state size and question count the app allows, fitted the token model, and measured the cost: $0.000012 to $0.000377 per evaluation.

Building a Harness with Jev

Building a Harness with Jev

An agent loop is only as fast as its slowest decision. Where Jev, the System One model from TypeSafe, fits: model routing, action gating, escalation.

Designing Questions Jev Can Answer: Choice, Score and Noul

Designing Questions Jev Can Answer: Choice, Score and Noul

The three Jev question types, Choice, Score and Noul, decide what your code can branch on. What each returns, their limits, and how to write atomic questions, sharpen rubrics and gate agent actions on confidence.
