Jev buzz reveals many don't know encoder-only classifiers have existed for years
RichmanRonald · x · 2026-09-17
A discussion thread sparked by the new tool Jev highlights a knowledge gap: encoder-only classifiers have long existed, are good, valuable, and widely used — yet many practitioners seem unaware of them. The author notes you could already fine-tune ModernBERT (or LFM2.5?) for fast, cheap structured output from language input for years; Jev may be better and training-free, but the category isn't new. JFPuget echoes that his approach is also an LLM encoder plus an MLP for classification.
