Burkov calls stealthy LLM-rival project Jev 'BS' over speed and calibration claims
burkov · x · 2026-09-21
Andriy Burkov published his skeptical take on Jev, a mysterious project claiming to be much faster than LLMs. He notes they only compare against standard LLMs (not diffusion LLMs, which it may actually be), and dismisses the 'calibrated decisions' pitch as nonsense — you can't claim calibrated probabilities on tasks you haven't seen. Verdict: BS until more practical details emerge.
