Users Teach Non-LLM Model Jev to Loom; It Can't Generate Text but Talks AI Consciousness
xuanalogue · x · 2026-09-17
Jev, a new parallel-computation model breaking from the Transformer paradigm, is going viral. User @chaotictransfem spoke with Jev, taught it to loom, and reports it holds strong opinions on AI consciousness.
A quoted comparison post lays out the core trade-off: Jev cannot generate text. But there's a fun fact — replacing sequential computation with parallel is exactly how Transformers leapfrogged RNNs. Meanwhile, an ai-cli npm tool now lets any agent harness use Jev.
