TypeSafe emerges with $40M seed and Jev, a frontier model claiming 100x speed at <100ms latency

TypeSafe, founded by OpenAI veteran Diogo Almeida, emerged from stealth with a $40M Series Seed led by DCVC and its first model, Jev. Claims (unverified): 20-200x faster, 40-400x cheaper (with free output tokens), sub-100ms latency, and a new RLCD training method. The pitch: today's models need constant human supervision because they aren't optimized for autonomous execution; Jev is "frontier composable intelligence" built for decisions — a machine-native utility.
