Diogo AlmeidaGUEST
Absolutely.
Matt TurckHOST
That is Diogo Almeida, CEO of TypeSafe, the company behind Jev.
Matt TurckHOST
A month ago, nobody had heard of Jev, then it launched, hit a nerve in the AI world, and quickly became the most copied model in AI.
Matt TurckHOST
Jev is both fascinating and perplexing.
DariusHOST
TypeSafe says Jev responds in under seven hundred milliseconds, up to two hundred times faster and up to one hundred times more cost efficient than some frontier models, and that about a third of the Fortune five hundred already use it.
DariusHOST
The company was co-founded in twenty twenty-four by former OpenAI researcher Diogo Almeida, former Meta research engineer Sasha Xing, and Eric Gaffney, and it plans to use the money to expand its System One model lineup and add enterprise features.
DariusHOST
For agencies, decision models like Jev point to cheaper, faster automations for lead scoring, ticket routing, and qualification steps that today burn tokens on text nobody reads.
DariusHOST
Three more headlines.

DanielHOST
The thesis A16Z is backing is that the next dominant model class isn't a chatbot, it's intelligence wired straight into software pipelines.
DanielHOST
TypeSafe's CEO, Diogo Almeida, is a former OpenAI researcher who contributed to InstructGPT and the foundational reinforcement learning from human feedback work behind ChatGPT.
DanielHOST
The company says approximately one-third of Fortune 500 companies have already adopted GEV and that it is already profitable on an all-in basis.
DanielHOST
It now processes trillions of tokens daily.
AmberHOST
And at $2.50 per GPU hour versus $6 for B300, the economics are shifting the conversation.
AmberHOST
This does not unseat Nvidia, but it is real competitive pressure in a market that many assumed was settled.
DanielHOST
And on the robotics front, there's a quote I want to bring to you from Ultra's CEO, John Miller Schwartz, speaking to Fortune.
DanielHOST
He said humanoids get the headlines, but other robots get the work.
Alex ZhangGUEST
And between these two tasks, this looks the same, but what the sub-agents are doing are maybe, like, unique and something, something, like, different, but even what the sub-agents are solving might actually also be of the same form, right? 'Cause it's like a, it's a recursive argument.
ParzivalHOST
In September, a startup called TypeSafe, founded by Diogo Almeida, who helped build the instruction following models at OpenAI, launched a model called Jev.
ParzivalHOST
Jev never writes a word.
ParzivalHOST
You hand it the state of a program as text and a question like, "Should this ticket go to billing?" And in one single pass, it gives you back a number between zero and one, a probability that's supposed to be calibrated in 70 to 500 milliseconds by TypeSafe's own numbers, where a frontier model writing out its thoughts can take seconds or minutes.
IraHOST
That's exactly it.
IraHOST
They raised $40 million in seed led by Diogo Almeida, former OpenAI researcher.
IraHOST
The pitch is give up generality, get speed, and a result that's directly machine usable.
SaiHOST
And I'm guessing the big players noticed because this smells like something Amazon would pounce on.
Sam CharringtonHOST
It's a different idea of what AI should be optimized for.
Sam CharringtonHOST
Diogo Almeida is co-founder and CEO of TypeSafe.
Sam CharringtonHOST
Before that, he spent four and a half years at OpenAI, where he was part of the team behind InstructGPT and the RLHF work that helped turn language models into the assistants we use today.
Sam CharringtonHOST
With Jeff, he's now pursuing what he calls machine-native intelligence, models optimized not for generating strings that people consume, but for making reliable decisions that software can act on.
Emanuel RoseHOST
They say they're already working with more than 1,000 brands, including a third of the Fortune 100 brands.
Emanuel RoseHOST
So while the founders argue about how fast to go, the money is quietly betting on one thing, getting your name into the answer.
Emanuel RoseHOST
And here's my hot take of the week.
Emanuel RoseHOST
And some of you might push back.
