Jev beats GPT-5.6 at predicting reading taste, 53x cheaper and 25x faster
venturetwins · x · 2026-09-20
Using 1,000 Goodreads ratings as training data and holding out 100 for testing, the author had Jev and GPT-5.6 predict which books would earn 5 stars. Jev was slightly more accurate while costing 53x less and running 25x faster — surprisingly without needing a deeper reasoning model. The author argues price and speed are the difference between a consumer app that works and one that's infeasible, and is excited to see what apps Jev unlocks.
