"Just train a classifier" — why this engineer picks Jev over a custom fine-tune
brandon_galang · x · 2026-10-02
Responding to "Jev isn't new, just train a classifier," the author argues he could technically fine-tune a custom LLM, but his team lacks the infra, access setup, and core competency to ever actually do it. He picks Jev because it's fast, cheap, and delivers an 80/20 pareto win immediately — the real bottleneck is time, attention and bandwidth, and anything that lets you move faster without spending those is worth its weight in gold.
