Small First Commitments: Swap One Slow Part of Your Product for the New Model
TheMoonMidas · x · 2026-09-20
Section 8 of the thread, on small first commitments: people could test jev on just one part of an existing product—browser use used jev for action selection while a small language model handled text generation. The playbook: take something slow, try the new model there, see what happens. Cheap experiments also change behavior—more people can afford to try an idea before deciding if it's sensible, and some of those experiments become the next demo. Price affects how much marketing your users end up creating.
