TypeSafe CEO on Jev: machine-native models for code, RLCD over RLHF
Latent Space · youtube · 2026-09-22
Latent Space interviews TypeSafe co-founder & CEO Diogo Almeida (ex-OpenAI) days after Jev's launch. His bet: the next wave of AI won't look like chat — it's "System One Models," machine-native AI built for code, calibrated decisions, reliability, and intelligence per dollar. Key threads: why RLHF causes mode collapse and calibration issues, and RLCD as a different north star; why TypeSafe rejects public benchmarks and thinks of itself as a data lab; why refusals become fundamentally different when AI is buried in software dependencies; how structured state replaces giant prompts, and decomposing AI workflows into many small measurable decisions; the "inverse SaaS-pocalypse"; and why he wouldn't pre-train from scratch even with a billion dollars.
