TypeSafe ships Jev, a chatless model that outputs only decisions
$0.042/M input and 70-500ms for typed classify/route/score calls, now on Vercel and DuckDB. Plus native agent memory, a Datasette security fix, and Monid.

What Jev actually is
Not a chatbot: Jev returns one of three typed primitives — a Choice (up to 255 options), a Score (a number on a scale), or a yes/no with probability — each with a calibrated confidence, in a single parallel pass. It can't write prose or code, which is the point: no free-text means no format to hallucinate. Built by ex-OpenAI researcher Diogo Almeida's TypeSafe.
The numbers, and the asterisk
$0.042 per million input tokens with free output — roughly 238x cheaper than Claude Fable 5.1's $10/M — and 70-500ms latency versus seconds for a chat LLM, for a claimed 20-200x speedup. The catch: those benchmarks are TypeSafe's own, not independent, and the model is capped at 32K context, text/JSON in only. Good fit for guardrails on other models, ticket and alert routing, and batch scoring.
Where you can wire it in today
Jev is early-access by waitlist, but it's already plumbed into two places builders live: Vercel's AI Gateway (call classify/route/score with typed outputs and confidence) and a MotherDuck DuckDB extension that types ~1,000 rows in about 10 seconds instead of a generative pass. That turns 'label this column' into a SQL-speed operation.
Vercel also gave agents native memory
Same day, Mem0 landed as a native integration on the Vercel Marketplace — persistent memory your AI apps and agents keep across sessions without standing up your own vector store or wiring a database. One install instead of a weekend of glue code.
Update Datasette now — quiet permission bypass patched
Datasette 0.65.5 is a security release: a trailing newline in a table name could slip past permission checks and expose private data. If you run Datasette anywhere public, upgrade today. The same day, 1.0a40 added background tasks via datasette.add_background_task() on the road to 1.0 stable.
Elsewhere: Monid open-sources an 'OpenRouter for agent tools'
One base URL and one key now reaches 2,000+ tools across 72+ providers — web search and scraping, people and company enrichment, media generation — with endpoints ranked by price, health and latency. It's MIT-licensed and self-hostable on Deno 2, so you can fork it instead of renting it.
