Find the Right AI Model

Latest across the site

The strongest recent records, newest first — projects, posts, recordings and threads from every model we follow. A row gets here once somebody other than us has looked at it: a post with a hundred likes, a repository with a hundred stars, a thread with fifteen points. Each card links to our own page where we have one and to the source where we do not — a card marked source leaves this site.

  A single function Jev-like wrapper for LLMs, including vision models

  A short argument with code: wrap any LLM — vision models included — in a single function that returns a decision rather than text. 135 points and 12 comments, and a useful counterweight to the framework-shaped projects in the builds column, because it shows how little scaffolding the idea actually needs.

  Turning GLM-5.3-Flash into a Jev-like decision model

  PrivateMode's write-up of getting Jev-like behaviour out of a standard open model by crafting the prompt so the first output token is the answer: one forward pass, then a benchmark against both Jev and Laya. One of very few head-to-head measurements in this column that was not produced by a vendor.

  Ollaya – Ollama for open-source, Jev-style decision models

  The week's largest discussion of the decision-model stack: an Ollama-style daemon for open decision models behind TypeSafe's wire format. 587 points and 29 comments when we read it, and the argument in the comments is about whether a registry is the missing piece or another layer nobody needs.

  Show HN: Jev Plays Pokémon Red

  A Show HN that answers the first question anybody asks about a model this fast: can it play something harder than Tetris? Pokémon Red, open-sourced, with the author's own caveat that Jev is not yet fast enough for Doom. The comments are mostly about frame budgets and where the loop breaks.

  What Is RLCD? The Secret Behind Jev

  An explainer for the training method behind this class of model, with the objection attached: the top comment points out that the piece never defines the acronym in its own title. Useful as a pointer to the technique, not as the reference for it.

  Jev and Laya Explained: Decision Models vs LLMs

  The same channel's plainer piece: Jev and Laya as decision models beside LLMs, and where each belongs in a pipeline. Shorter and less specific than the calibration video, and it names Convai as Laya's origin — a claim we have not been able to confirm from the repository.

  Auto-tagging inside a design tool, while the UI is being used

  Auto-tagging in a design tool: one decision per element, shown while the interface is being used. A short demo, but it is the clearest picture of the decision as a UI primitive rather than a backend job.

  Jev in 25 Lines of Python

  The most-read thread of the week, and it is a parody: a local Qwen model reproducing Jev's visible behaviour in twenty-five lines of Python. The discussion is better than the joke — the top comment asks for the latency and compute comparison the parody leaves out, which is exactly the measurement Jev's own case rests on.

  Jev Can't Be Calibrated

  The sceptic's post, and the most valuable one in this topic's discussion: four hundred rolls of a fair die, and the model's probabilities never moved off the first face. It is a one-experiment argument, so read it as a sharp case rather than a verdict — and note that it lands on the same failure the model's own card warns about.

  ollaya-dev/ollaya

  The first piece of infrastructure here that treats decision models the way Ollama treats LLMs: a daemon, a registry, one command to run Laya, decider, NLI or GLiClass locally behind TypeSafe's own wire format. It is also the largest single discussion of the week on Hacker News, which is why it opens that column too.

  What is Jev? (and is laya better?)

  Two models, one question in the title, and a host who runs both rather than reading their cards: what Jev is, then whether the open one is better. The answer is more conditional than the thumbnail suggests, which is why it is on this wall.

  DocJev splits and classifies complex document packets

  Document packets classified and split by a tool its author built on Jev, with the default configuration tuned for exactly that shape of input. The claim is speed on complex packets; the evaluation behind it is the author's.
