I'm normally happy to jump onboard the HN hate train, but I think this time it's more that the launch was full of marketing slop about AGI and positioning Jev as an LLM competitor, when as you note its basically just a general purpose classifier.

This isn't to knock the team at all, but imo the most impressive thing about Jev is that no one did it before. The second most impressive thing is that there was such a large number of people that didn't realise that classifiers were useful.
