Also, moat discussion is the lowest form of discussion. I don’t care if jev has a moat. Did it get the interface right? What other past ideas have we overlooked that if given some love, could kick the door down like jev did?
Really silly stuff.. people wanting to talk about moats when there’s no castle. Moat talk merely projects the illusion of being engaged but, much more often than not, it’s hollow engagement.
Like Terry Tao recently said, there are nonlinear effects at play. Things are going to get chaotic and I do not have confidence (like the parent comment) of anyone "winning".
gpt-6-sol and Aeon (personal agent) on Thursday. Already preceded by a huge week with step, mimo, grok, and jev releases.
Relentless cycle.
As these models get smarter they will no longer distribute it openly. Patel reporting this too.
There are real headwinds that I don’t think people have thought through.
Opus 5.5 is being served under opus 5 right now.
Here is typesafe’s skills.md https://docs.typesafe.ai/agent-skill (which I don’t think is well written, but it’s a start).
Also read their docs, I think they’re interesting.
These aren’t acceptable terms on a personal or corporate level. I’ve seen some fools brag about proxying their life through jev. Messages, emails, LLM calls, files.
The one thing jev has going for it is a dedicated company focused entirely on making the product good and keeping it maintained. I haven't been willing to jump on board with all these jev-shaped projects because their releases feel driven mostly by opportunism. I'm fine waiting a bit for the opportunists to shake out so we can see who is genuinely committed to bringing something valuable to the open-weight community.
Jev is much better than the traditional ML crowd gives it credit for, but my enthusiasm hits a wall when it comes to their data policy. It is completely draconian. Whatever you feed into the system, they retain.
The jev team needs to release a ZDR product, or their platform is dead on arrival. An open, jev-shaped model will win out solely on that basis.
Accidentally lost a bunch of data that way, figured I’d spread the word.
Good models take time and effort. There wasn't a good option for satisficers until a few days ago.
I evaluated this project yesterday and found its claims un-credible. It's literally nothing like jev. That's some context behind why, a day later, I find it annoying that this is somehow the top story on HN.
