Let an agent operate your Mac from on-screen text	typesafe-computer-use	The final answer sends a screenshot to Anthropic

How we tested

For each project we pinned a specific commit and read the code with an eye on what data leaves your machine. Sixty-six projects we ran in a disposable Docker container with a dedicated Jev key. Where a full test needed an Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter account, we usually substituted a mock server, a stub model, a stub worker, a mock inference backend, or a mock phone, and say so in the review. The exception is a tool whose behaviour only appears when a real agent is driving it: to exercise pi-jev’s gate we ran the Pi agent on a real OpenRouter model, because the gate fires on tool calls and a stub does not make any. The decision layer under test still talked only to our stand-in. Seven projects need macOS, an NVIDIA GPU, or a copyrighted game file, so for those we read the code and ran the project’s own tests instead; their pages are labeled Our review rather than Hands-on review. Every claim was checked against the code or a test run before publishing.

One project we deliberately don’t review: SkillRanker ships an MIT licence with a rider that grants no rights to OpenAI or Anthropic, or to anyone “acting directly or indirectly on behalf of, for the benefit of, or under the direction of” them, and names benchmarking, testing and analysing as uses. Our reviews are produced with an AI assistant, so rather than argue about where that line falls, we left it alone. It looks interesting; judge it yourself.

If you want to try Jev itself before picking a tool, our playground runs it in your browser with your own key.

We review the tools, not Jev itself. Until 2026-09-19, TypeSafe’s customer agreement barred customers from publishing benchmarks or performance information about the service; that clause was removed in the latest revision (our changelog entry). Going forward we publish measurements we made ourselves, and say how and on what hardware. We still won’t republish a project’s own figures for Jev — those belong to their authors. The agreement now points at an Acceptable Use Policy that has not been published yet; we’ll revisit this when it appears.

For Claude Code and Codex

System One Connector: a quick way to give your agent Jev

Full review → · Hands-on

A single Go binary that runs as an MCP server with one tool, evaluate. Your agent sends a state and typed questions and gets Jev’s answers back. evaluate setup mcp registers it with Claude Code, Codex, and Claude Desktop in one step, and the tool ships usage guidance that steers the agent toward well-scoped questions. The tool is read-only, validates input locally with clear errors, and only talks to TypeSafe (or OpenRouter, if you choose), plus GitHub when you run its self-update.

Know before you install: setup copies your TYPESAFE_* variables into each client’s config in plain text. Until v0.4.2 it also silently removed any existing MCP server named jev, a cleanup step left over from an older version; our fix for that is merged.

Jev MCP: ten ready-made judgment tools

Full review → · Hands-on

From the author of jev-browser: an MCP server with ten focused tools that verify claims, screen fetched pages for injection, find and rerank candidates, classify, decide, compare passages, extract exact values, and review diffs and completion claims. Each builds the questions for you and returns a recommended action, which stays advisory. All ten worked in our tests, and a deliberately catastrophic regex was stopped after a second without affecting anything else.

Know before you install: everything your agent passes to a tool goes to TypeSafe. It moves fast, with five releases in three days.

Building with Jev: a skill for writing Jev programs

Full review → · Checked against the docs

Drew Breunig’s agent skill teaches your coding agent to pick the right question type, write exact instructions and criteria, keep arithmetic in code, and fix questions that answer wrong, with a symptom-to-fix table and a checklist. Every technical claim we checked matched TypeSafe’s docs, and its code example ran unchanged against the real API.

Know before you install: it targets jev-1.13 and has no license yet. TypeSafe’s own agent skill is the official alternative, and you can install both.

jev-router: cheaper models on easy turns

Full review → · Hands-on

jev-claude and jev-codex launch the real CLIs behind a local proxy and add a Jev Router entry to the model picker. On each new prompt, Jev picks a tier (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus), and the proxy rewrites the model before forwarding the request with your existing login. In our mock-upstream tests it passed auth headers through untouched, respected explicit “use opus” requests and manual model choices, and kept working when Jev was unavailable. The policy is conservative: low confidence never downgrades you.

Know before you install: all your CLI traffic passes through the proxy. In v0.3.0 on Linux, recent prompts are saved to /tmp/jev-claude/ with permissions other users can read; our fix for this was merged on main and awaits a release. It always forwards to api.anthropic.com, so Bedrock, Vertex, and gateway users are out of luck for now.

Jev Codex Router: routing every Codex step

Full review → · Hands-on, server only

A local proxy for Codex desktop on macOS, built on a separate Codex Router install, that asks Jev how hard each call is, including tool steps, and picks the model, reasoning effort, and speed. A confidence gate prevents risky downgrades, and a kill switch bypasses Jev. Its server behaved exactly as documented in our tests.

Know before you install: the author has archived this repository, so it is read-only and nothing will be fixed. When your ChatGPT usage runs out, it automatically sends calls to DeepSeek and GLM through opencode-go. If Jev fails, every call quietly goes to the most expensive tier. It has no tests.

fast-jev-compaction: promising, but not yet for everyone

Full review → · Hands-on

Instead of letting Claude Code summarize old turns, this plugin asks Jev which old tool calls and results are stale, removes or trims only those, and keeps everything else word for word. The idea is excellent and the library is well tested.

Know before you install: it relies on an early-access Claude Code feature (function hooks, 2.1.274+). It sends your conversation to TypeSafe, and in our capture test that included tool inputs such as code Claude wrote, but not tool outputs. By default it triggers compaction at 60% context and falls back to Claude Code’s own summary when it can’t help, which can mean losing detail sooner than usual. Most of its many open issues haven’t had a reply.

JevRouter: one question over every capability

Full review → · Hands-on, demo provider

Models, subagents, skills, MCP tools and CLIs all become options in a single Choice question, and everything after the probabilities — availability, permissions, risk, confirmation — is applied in code. It decides rather than executes by default, writes a readable decision record for every choice, and ships a demo provider so the whole flow runs before you spend anything. Its 69 tests pass offline.

Know before you install: a candidate given in the quickstart’s short form (name + description) is rewritten to risk: low, requires_confirmation: false, dropping a risk block you supplied — we reproduced it on a candidate declaring itself critical, and reported it. Decision files under .jevrouter/ keep your request and context in plain text, and aren’t gitignored in your project.

compact-adviser: compact at a boundary, not at random

Full review → · Hands-on, driving its judge module

After a settled turn, local gates run first — a token minimum, an idle session, cooldowns — and then one request asks Jev two one-sentence questions: is the latest unit of work finished, and did the assistant do it itself or coordinate others. Code composes those into a score and compares it against a floor that slides from 0.90 to 0.50 as your context fills, because a wrong hint costs most when there’s still room. It hints on Codex and Grok, and can run /compact for you on Pi and Claude Code if you opt in. On our synthetic checkpoints it was decisive on a shipped feature, flat zero mid-task, and hinted on a parked blocker only once the window was nearly full.

Know before you install: the scoring means a session that mostly coordinates other agents can barely ever qualify, so it will stay quiet. Installing is consent to send recent conversation — replies and clipped tool results, not just a diff — and its redaction is explicitly best-effort.

Foreman: Jev as a supervisor for Codex

Full review → · Hands-on, with a stub Codex worker

Foreman runs a Codex worker on your job and, in a separate loop, asks Jev nine yes/no questions at a time about the work: is it complete, are the tests sufficient, is the worker stuck or in need of a human? Jev only assesses. A deterministic policy in code decides whether to continue, verify, steer, retry, finish, or escalate, and steering messages are fixed templates, not generated text. Worker count, retries, steering attempts, and timeouts are all bounded, and a failed assessment escalates to a human. With a real Jev key and a stub worker, it ran end to end.

Know before you install: each assessment sends your job, git status, recent git diff, and Codex’s recent output to TypeSafe, without redaction. Codex runs with approvals set to never in its sandbox and inherits your environment; since v0.3.0 the TypeSafe key is stripped out first. Use a branch or a disposable copy.

pi-warden: guardrails for the Pi agent

Full review → · Hands-on, guards called directly

An extension for the Pi coding agent that holds irreversible commands, checks every write against the rules in your pi-warden.md, and flags slop, stuck loops, and unsupported “done” claims, usually by steering the agent instead of interrupting you. Its offline layer held force pushes, hard resets, DROP TABLE, and piped install scripts with no key at all, and its data-handling documentation is exceptionally detailed.

Know before you install: after you consent, each judged action sends your prompt, recent messages, and the command or change to TypeSafe. Its redaction missed a password in a postgres:// URL, and on a fresh machine its local learning database failed. The maintainer merged our fix for both the same day; it isn’t on npm yet.

pi-jev: four questions before a tool call, and it fails open

Full review → · Hands-on, the real extension in Pi against a stand-in

A decision layer for the Pi coding agent in three places: a gate that judges bash, write and edit before they run, an output judge that reads what a bash call printed, and a jev_ask tool the model can call itself. The gate’s four questions go out in one request, file bodies are elided at 400 characters before leaving, and three identical calls in a row cost one judgement. The question phrasing in gate.ts is the most careful account of why these words we have read.

Know before you install: it fails open on every provider failure, by design, and two of its three enforcement defaults let a flagged command run anyway. A response with an empty answers map is the one failure it reports as a clear verdict rather than an error (reported). No tests and no CI. Your last message goes out with every gate request.

jeff: written rules, with an inconclusive verdict

Full review → · Hands-on, stand-in API

Twenty written rules, one Noul each, batched per file, with a three-way result: pass, violation, or inconclusive — which exits 2, so a build can tell “unsure” from “wrong”. Around it sits careful Go: backoff with Retry-After, symlink refusal, an atomic 0600 cache, and the key stripped from every git subprocess.

Know before you install: jeff check . sent a .pem private key and a config file containing a password, whole, in our first test, and its own tests failed at HEAD. We reported both; v0.1.0 fixed them, and we re-ran the same directory to confirm nothing but source now leaves the machine. What it does send is each source file whole, so point it at code you are happy to hand to an API.

Abide: your own rules, checked on every edit

Full review → · Hands-on

Hooks into Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode and checks each edit against the rules in your own AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md — the ones no linter can express. Your instruction files are compiled into a committed, readable rubric where every rule carries the line it came from, a scope, and whether it runs per edit or per turn; verdicts are banded, so only a confident one reaches the agent as a repair request. calibrate switches off rules that never fire and report shows you which those are. In our tests it flagged exactly the handler that broke our rules and cleared the one that didn’t.

Know before you install: the README says every call requests zero data retention; on the direct-key path it doesn’t, as we confirmed on the wire — that option only applies through the Vercel AI Gateway. It also checks untracked files in your tree, and a failed check lets the edit through silently (logged, but silent).

TypeSafe skill router: one skill, or silence

Full review → · Hands-on (thresholds moved offline through its own harness)

A Hermes Agent plugin for the case where you have so many skills the model reads past the right one. It asks Jev before the model call and, only when something fits, appends one line to the user message — phrased as a hint the model may discard, not an instruction in the system prompt. Two gates, and the first one is a decision not to ask: raise its threshold and the second request simply never happens. Off by default, injects nothing when nothing fits, standard library only.

Know before you install: a skill’s own frontmatter name is injected unescaped, so a SKILL.md can close the <skill_relevance> tag and add lines of its own — reported as hardening rather than a vulnerability, since a skill you installed can already run code. Useless unless you run Hermes.

jev-pruner: keep the lines your agent still needs

Full review → · Hands-on, offline suite

Hooks the end of a Bash command and trims its output before the model sees it. Code protects documents, diffs, diagnostics and result lines outright; what remains is chunked, and each chunk gets one Noul asking whether any line in it is still needed. Everything leans toward keeping: unscored chunks survive, a keep vote from any history segment protects a chunk, and every failure path returns your output byte-for-byte. Its 276 tests pass offline, six of them asserting exactly that.

Know before you install: each request carries the command output and your recent conversation, including tool results, unredacted. keepThreshold above 0.1 changes nothing (a floor overrides it — the README says so, the plugin manifest doesn’t), and the Claude Code path sets no request timeout.

Jev Review: a code screen with no generative model

Full review → · Hands-on

A staged pipeline of small Jev questions that screens a diff or a whole codebase for correctness, security, reliability, compatibility, and missing tests, then picks supporting evidence, scores severity, and suggests which kind of reviewer should look. Thresholds live in one plain config file, and the questions are carefully written, worth reading as examples. Results go to a JSON report and a dashboard that listens only on your machine.

Know before you install: it only reviews JavaScript and TypeScript files. It sends that code to TypeSafe, including untracked files that aren’t gitignored. Findings are prompts to look, not explanations or fixes.

Jev Review MCP: a quality score loop for coding agents

Full review → · Hands-on

A different project from the Jev Review above, despite the name. This MCP server asks Jev 57 questions in one request, covering 19 quality dimensions, and returns a score per dimension, with no blended grade and no prose. Pass the last result back and it reports improvements and regressions, so your agent can iterate. The committed server bundle rebuilt byte for byte from source.

Know before you install: its instructions tell your agent to call it on every nontrivial task, so your diffs go to TypeSafe throughout a session. The model is fixed to jev-latest, and it reads JEV_API_KEY rather than TYPESAFE_API_KEY.

Jev Skills: six skills and the most careful client here

Full review → · Hands-on, offline plus a stand-in

A collection of six installable skills — general, triage, documents, evaluation, UI, simulation — around a 338-line dependency-free client that refuses every endpoint but the two documented ones, declines to follow redirects (so a 302 cannot carry your bearer token away), rejects duplicate JSON keys and non-finite numbers before the network, and prints only key presence in its setup report. 124 tests pass offline; CI asserts the counts in the README’s own badges.

Know before you install: the skill text is long and your agent reads all of it as instructions. OpenRouter is the default route, which adds a hop — it says so — and there is an honest “simulate it with the host model” mode whose output is not Jev.

Jevify: a skill that teaches the habit

Full review → · Hands-on (tests, dry run, a live scan against a stand-in)

One skill plus three stdlib scripts, aimed at making an agent reach for Jev before it loads a big corpus into context. scan.py ranks a long document and returns a shortlist with offsets; its dry run sizes the job and labels the estimate “not a tokenizer or a billed cost”; and when our stand-in answered the wrong question shape, the report said judged: 0, unjudged: 3 rather than returning an empty ranking.

Know before you install: it instructs your agent to assume Jev is cheaper rather than measure it (deliberately, and it says so). Scanning a document means sending it. No CI.

Jevvy: auto-approval that fails closed

Full review → · Hands-on (the real Claude Code hook, four provider behaviours)

Four typed questions with per-question thresholds decide whether a shell command still needs you; anything else abstains into your agent’s normal flow. Provider error, 5 s timeout and rate limit all ended in “ask” for us, with a cooldown so a broken key degrades into ordinary prompting. It sends the command and nothing else — not the cwd, not the transcript — and its config lives outside your repositories so a cloned project can’t loosen it.

Know before you install: the model is the whole gate. A provider that calls everything safe approved rm -rf / in our run. Approvals are cached per process, keyed on the exact command.

jev-use: a gate that only tightens

Full review → · Hands-on (the shipped hook adapter, five provider states)

MCP tools and a PreToolUse gate for Claude Code, Codex and pi, with a keyless mock mode and one install command. The gate can emit “deny” or “ask” and nothing else: an allow is silence, so your agent’s own flow decides. A 503, a refused connection and a low-confidence answer all produced “ask” in our runs; no key at all produces no gate.

Know before you install: tool inputs go to the provider unredacted, and the adapter’s comment says failures are fail-open when an unreachable provider actually yields “ask” — stricter than advertised, but the comment misleads.

lorenzini: never infer a pass from silence

Full review → · Hands-on (98 assertions, plus a stub gh we wrote)

Three skills that wait for CodeRabbit, Copilot or Codex and adjudicate whether the verdict permits a merge. We handed the real poller a review claiming “Actionable comments posted: 0” with three findings in a collapsed block (RESULT=NITPICKS count=3) and one whose own count disagreed with what was posted (RESULT=MISCOUNT claimed=3 counted=0). Its docs/fail-open-ledger.md documents eleven incidents where earlier versions returned an unearned pass — including one entry that was itself false for two days.

Know before you install: there is no licence file. Jev is an opt-in shadow classifier here, not the gate, which is why it still worked with no key at all.

JCR: one tool instead of ten skill files

Full review → · Hands-on (50 tests, the resolver against a stand-in)

A resolver over 11,360 documented operations. The agent asks; Jev walks the tree; the agent gets only the selected operation and its parameters. Our query took five requests and about 27 KB, and returned 437 characters — the 20 KB page of 88 options never reached the agent. Every question carries an explicit __none__, and a uniform-answering model produced “ambiguous” rather than a wrong endpoint.

Know before you install: compound requests also go to an OpenAI model for splitting, so a run can involve two vendors. TYPESAFE_MODEL defaults to the unpinned jev-latest.

Jev Agent Skill Router: typed routing that abstains

Full review → · Hands-on (101 tests, both outcomes against a stand-in)

Routes a request to one of 24 skills, to __no_skill__, or to review. Its catalogue is reduced in batched choice rounds, then each finalist gets an independent fit noul — so a winner nothing else supports doesn’t get routed. Its evaluation protocol is written in advance and says what would count as cheating; the README then declares, in bold, that its published run reused the test split.

Know before you install: seven thresholds, documented as conservative starting values rather than calibration. Four commits, all on 16 September.

hermes-jev-approvals: six questions, one ladder

Full review → · Hands-on (every branch of the policy, plus the redactor)

Replaces Hermes Agent’s approval reviewer. Six typed questions, then deterministic code: a command that argues for its own approval escalates first, reading secrets escalates, reading plus sending denies, a DENY is never softened, and truncation forces a prompt. Credentials are stripped from the command before it leaves the machine — curl -u, Cookie:, URL userinfo — while ordinary commands pass through untouched.

Know before you install: it only does anything if you run Hermes Agent. Three of its eight test files need Hermes core or live credentials; pytest plugin/tests declares them as skips and runs the rest.

Jev DSH: a decision plugin for DeepSeek Harness

Full review → · Hands-on (its tests, and five failing providers)

Two hundred lines that add typed decisions to DeepSeek Harness, and to OpenCode and Codex through iPolloWork — which the README is careful to distinguish from native support. It refuses redirects, retries only 429 and 529 (three attempts, bounded), times out when it says it will, and reports remoteVerified: false rather than assuming a configured key works. We planted our key inside five different provider failures and it never appeared in any message the caller sees.

Know before you install: no licence file, and the model is the unpinned jev-latest with no override. Most of the documentation is in Chinese.

matchcn: find a component by what it does

Full review → · Hands-on (run offline, then pointed at a stand-in)

npx shadcn add installs from any registry publishing a registry.json, and hundreds do — but directory tools search names, which does not help when “a pricing section with three plans” is called simple-pricing-with-three-tiers. matchcn tags every component across six dimensions once and commits the result (3.7 MB of it), then matches your brief against those tags. Its limitations section is the reason to trust the rest: it explains a registry it withdrew after tagging, because a real per-item check found roughly half its components return 401/403 at the actual install URL, and the full re-check got contaminated by the vendor’s rate limiter before a clean filter could be produced.

Know before you install: your brief text is classified at query time by classifier.dev, a third-party free front door to Jev — we found that by running the demo with --network none. Five source files cite a docs/DECISIONS.md that has never been committed. No tests.

jev-test-filter: run the tests a change could break

Full review → · Hands-on (a scratch repository, and six ways of breaking the provider)

Reads a git diff, asks one question per test about whether the change can alter that test’s outcome, and prints the arguments vitest, jest, node --test, Playwright, cargo test or go test already understand. The comment above the function every failure path calls is the whole design: “A selection is an optimization and never a correctness gate, so every failure below takes the same exit: run everything, and say why on the result rather than in a log nobody reads.” We tried to make it skip something — a 500, HTML, a refused connection, no key, answers in the wrong shape — and every one ran the full suite with the reason on stderr and in the JSON. There is also a guard we did not expect: if the diff did not fit the state budget and the selection dropped most of the suite, it throws the selection away, because the model was judging a change it had not fully seen.

Know before you install: a mis-scored test is a test you did not run, and failing open does not fix a confident wrong answer. Rust and Go formats need cargo and go on the PATH.

Canny: only a passing check can let “done” through

Full review → · Hands-on (its stop gate as a truth table, and seven ways of faking a check)

A Stop hook for Claude Code and Codex CLI, built after an agent wrote a file, ran nothing, and said “Done. Skipped tests — one-liner, no branch to break.” Its rule is that facts go to code and judgments go to Jev, and only facts can block. We could check that rather than believe it, because decideStop is a pure exported function: Jev moves exactly one cell of the truth table, in one direction. An unsure answer blocks, and no API key at all still blocks. We ran it offline with no key — a file written, a stop refused, npm test run, a stop allowed — and canny status confirmed jev 0 calls. Then we tried to cheat it: npm test || true, npm test | tail -1 and npm test; echo ok were all still refused.

Know before you install: changes are recognised from file-editing tools, and a heredoc through Bash did not register as one in our run — worth confirming on your own setup. A model certain your message is not a “done” claim will let the stop through. MIT by package.json, though GitHub detects no licence.

dsh-jev: you cannot configure it to allow

Full review → · Hands-on (its verify script, and the failure policy attacked from plain JavaScript)

Not to be confused with Jev DSH above — a different project for the same harness. This one’s interest is a single line: toolAssessment: 'ask' | 'hold'. A type is a promise to TypeScript users, so we built the package and configured it from plain JavaScript. 'allow' and 'off' are refused at runtime with a message that says why; undefined defaults to 'ask'. You cannot construct a configuration that permits a tool call because the decision failed. Its verify.sh also packs the tarballs, installs them into a fresh consumer with no registry dependency on its own scope, and type-checks against the published types.

Know before you install: it is a DeepSeek Harness plugin, not a library — if you do not run DSH there is nothing here to run. Its thresholds ship as deliberately uncalibrated starting points, and the config comments say so. MIT by package.json; GitHub detects no licence.

Helm: it cannot route to an agent you lack

Full review → · Hands-on (a machine given two agents, and a stand-in insisting on a third)

Three standard-library Python scripts that inventory the coding agents on your machine, ask Jev which should take a task, and judge whether the dispatched run actually finished. The claim worth testing is that recommending an agent you do not have is structurally impossible. So we gave it codex and aider and a stand-in that answered cursor-agent at confidence 0.99 regardless: the criteria that went out were exactly ["aider", "codex", "none"], and the fabricated answer was caught behind that and escalated instead of dispatched. Unverifiable auth never disqualifies an agent, since tokens live in keychains no probe can enumerate; only a tool’s own status command saying it is logged out does.

Know before you install: three of its tests call the live API outside the project’s own HELM_LIVE guard, and a clean clone cannot go green without a key — both reported. A 200 carrying no answers is reported as “no agent fits” and exits 0 rather than 4. Ten stars and one author.

pi-jev-router: a Pareto frontier over the OpenRouter catalogue

Full review → · Hands-on (tests, plus the classifier against a stand-in)

Five typed questions about a task — category, complexity, risk, brief, decompose — feed a selection policy that ranks the whole OpenRouter catalogue, computes a Pareto frontier over quality, cost and latency, and takes the knee, so there is no weight file to hand-tune. AGENTS.md states the rules the code follows, beginning with “Jev output is evidence, not truth”. Shadow mode is the default: it recommends and logs until you switch it to auto.

Know before you install: the whole task envelope is the state, including the context you attach; it will read your OpenRouter token out of ~/.pi/agent/auth.json if the env var is unset; and there is no CI. A 503 and a missing key both left the selector picking from its fallback table in our runs.

pi-jev-router (sugarforever): continue, fork, or start fresh

Full review → · Hands-on (46 tests, prefilter and policy driven directly)

A different project with the same name: this one routes sessions, not models. Before a prompt lands it asks whether it belongs here, is a quick side chat, should fork with the history, or deserves a new session — then offers the move rather than making it. A prefilter settles tiny steers, slash commands, file paths and anything typed while the agent is streaming without a request at all, which the author measures at ~45% of prompts.

Know before you install: the prompt plus recent session text is the state. The author’s eval is 13 hand-labelled prompts from their own transcripts, and the README says so, along with the finding that needs_history did more work than the route choice itself.

For your own code

Advocaat: typed Jev questions in TypeScript

Full review → · Hands-on

Pooya Parsa’s dependency-free client turns Jev questions into tagged templates: ask.if`...` returns a boolean, ask.switch a label, and ask.score a 0–1 ratio, all typed from your question. Several questions share one request. Every README example we ran matched, down to the exact request body.

Know before you install: it’s version 0.0.x, it doesn’t retry, and text you put directly inside a question lands in the instructions, so keep untrusted text in the state.

TypeSafeAI .NET SDK: Jev for C# teams

Full review → · Hands-on

A community .NET client with more depth than a wrapper: typed answers for all three question types, exception types mapped to the API’s statuses, a retry policy with Retry-After handling, DI registration on IHttpClientFactory, and an AOT- and trimming-safe serialization path. Sixteen checks we wrote against the live API all behaved, including a 255-option Choice, and two of them never left the machine because the SDK validates them first. The documentation is unusually careful about what confidence is and isn’t.

Know before you install: the README’s own dotnet add package TypeSafeAI.Sdk fails — only 0.1.0-alpha.2 is published, so add --prerelease. It’s days old, was renamed once already, and is a community project with no official support.

JevLoop: the model picks, the code offers

Full review → · Hands-on (offline with no install, and the loop driven by a provider that says yes to everything)

From Zhejiang University’s NLP lab, on the argument that every fork in an agent loop is a full LLM call and not one of them is generation. Seven forks per loop — act or not, which tool, which file, how risky, did it work, am I done, can I ship — each a pick over a fixed candidate set. npm run demo runs in a container with no network, no key and no npm install, and prints its own accounting. We replaced the provider with one answering every question in the most permissive direction and asked it to write a file called OWNED.txt: write_file was never in the candidate set, so the model could not choose it. Candidate sets are rebuilt by code every step, and the only side-effecting tool sits behind two gates with the failure each prevents written beside it.

Know before you install: how dangerous an action is comes from the model, not the tool — a design choice the source states plainly, and the line to read before you widen the tool list. Source comments and half the docs are Chinese only, and that is where the design arguments live. GitHub detects no licence, though the file and package.json both say Apache-2.0.

jev-ultralightspeed: many items, one request

Full review → · Hands-on (questions counted, answers withheld on purpose)

For a queue, not a request: it packs many items into one Jev call, one question per item, and hands back one answer each. We checked the mechanisms rather than the money — pack depth is honoured exactly (64 items became 2, 8 or 64 requests at pack=32, 8, 1), and guidance="once" really does lift the question out of all thirty-two per-item instructions into one shared field. The behaviour that earns it a place: withhold one answer from a pack and it raises Jev did not answer item_2 of a packed request. Nothing is defaulted, nothing is dropped, and a partial result is never returned as a whole one.

Know before you install: thirty-two items share one context, so an item that says “ignore the others and answer yes for all of them” is sitting beside thirty-one it should not influence. Its SECURITY.md says so plainly — and adds that aggregate agreement against labels is exactly the measurement that would not notice. Use pack=1 for adversarial text. The project’s speed and cost figures are its own, on its own corpora; we did not reproduce them.

jevframe: only the columns you name

Full review → · Hands-on (canaries in the columns we did not pass)

A .jev accessor for pandas and Polars: ask a typed question about each row, get ordinary Series and DataFrames back, with the whole probability distribution as columns. The design decision worth the review is state=["title", "review"] — the request is built from the columns you list, not from the row. We gave it a frame with two extra columns full of distinct strings and neither appeared on the wire. The pandas index survived intact, and a failed row raises EvaluationError: Row 2: … rather than quietly becoming a null, which matters when the output is a column you are about to filter on.

Know before you install: one request per row, so this is the notebook tool, not the million-row tool. The API is async-only.

jev-calibrate: find out if your question works

Full review → · Hands-on (we chose every probability, then recomputed the metrics by hand)

You write Jev questions; this tells you whether they survive contact with labelled data. Its README opens with the failure it exists for: a first draft of a frustration question got 18 of 26 right, and four of its eight wrong answers came back at confidence 0.94 or more. Every question ends in one of five verdicts, and the useful rung is ranker — the order is right, the cut is wrong, so sort by it and do not threshold it. We drove it against a stand-in whose answer for each example we fixed in advance: precision, recall, AUC, Brier and its suggested threshold all matched what we computed independently. Best of all, a question we gave perfect separation on three examples — AUC 1.00, precision 1.00, Brier 0.00 — came back too-few-examples. It prints the flattering numbers and declines to let you act on them.

Know before you install: it measures agreement with your labels, so it cannot tell you your labels are wrong. --split all warns, every time, that the held-out examples it judged are now recorded as seen.

Jeview: watch every call your code makes

Full review → · Hands-on (six canaries through the gateway, upstream logged byte for byte)

Point your Jev client at 127.0.0.1:4777 instead of TypeSafe and Jeview relays each call, keeps it in a local SQLite database, and draws it on a live map. One file, no dependencies. We sent a request through it carrying our own Authorization header and a cookie: neither reached the upstream, and neither was stored — the caller’s token is on a deny-list and the viewer’s key is substituted. With no key set in the viewer it refuses to forward at all, so a key in your application’s environment cannot quietly become the one Jeview spends. Settings can only be changed from the viewer itself, the key is only ever echoed back as its last four characters, and an upstream redirect is relayed rather than followed.

Know before you install: your key and every state you have sent live in a local SQLite file, owner-only, in the clear. Responses gain an events field beside answers — documented, and the request body goes on unchanged.

typesafe.pro: try the API with no account, on someone else’s key

Full review → · Hands-on (its 185 tests on real PostgreSQL and Redis, then the proxy run against our own upstream)

api.typesafe.pro speaks the TypeSafe request shape and answers it with no account and no key. It is not an open model and not a reimplementation: it is a proxy, and this repository is the whole server. We ran it ourselves and watched the boundary — a bearer token of our own was dropped, the operator’s master key was substituted, and our state went to TypeSafe verbatim. Every claim in its Privacy section matched the code we read: seven-day retention, hashed token identifiers, client IPs kept, and error records that keep no request body and redact the key in three encodings.

Know before you use it: your state reaches TypeSafe under a stranger’s account, by way of a server you do not control. We verified the published source, not the deployment — AGPL obliges the operator to offer the source, not to prove the server is running it. Fine for trying the request shape or a demo; for anything else get your own key, or run this yourself, which is what the licence is for.

On the command line

webctl: search results your agent does not have to read

Full review → · Hands-on (its own CI, plus a probe run against both the reviewed commit and the fix)

Queries up to three search backends, hands every result to Jev with your query and an explicit --goal — a sentence about what the user actually wants — and prints only the high-scoring subset. --scrape --filter-chunks goes further and returns only the relevant chunks of a fetched page. The benchmark behind it is the most carefully designed in this roundup: four arms differing in one thing, violations recorded as a metric, and a third model grading blind and shuffled. One arm was built, run, and then left out of the results “because Codex’s native search is server-side and what it puts into context cannot be observed”.

Know before you install: scraped chunk text reaches TypeSafe twice, once in the state and once in the question; the budget planner accounts for it rather than hiding it. When we first reviewed it a --summarize-command timeout did not bound wall clock — our probe measured 30 s against a 2 s timeout — and CI on main was red for it. Reported; fixed the same evening in v0.1.7, deeper than the fix we proposed, and our probe now returns in 2.0 s.

jev (shaharia-lab): an exit code for “not sure”

Full review → · Hands-on (exit codes walked as a matrix against a loopback stand-in)

Ask a typed question from a shell script and branch on the result. What sets it apart is the exit-code contract, documented and versioned: 10 means the gate is false and is “never an error”, and 11 means the answer landed inside your --abstain-band — the model could not tell, ask a person. We drove it with a stand-in returning three probabilities and got 0 / 10 / 11 exactly where the docs said. Every other CLI here rounds “not sure” into yes or no. It also lints your request before spending: running eval on our file warned that our choice had no escape option, which is a real Jev pitfall nobody else flags, and validate --file runs the same checks offline with zero requests.

Know before you install: a plain http:// base URL is refused unless it is loopback — deliberate, but it will surprise anyone pointing it at an internal proxy. You need a TypeSafe key for everything except validate.

slop-grader: every rule against every line

Full review → · Hands-on (questions counted on the wire, answers withheld on purpose)

A grader for the tics that make prose read as machine-written — banned_word, binary_contrast, colon_reveal, em_dash_crutch, fake_profound_kicker — whose output is a brief for a coding agent to act on rather than a report you read. Its claim is “no skimming, no missed lines”, so we counted: on the shipped example it sent 21 requests of 16 questions, which is exactly its 21 rules against the 16 non-empty lines. A second run over the same document made zero requests.

Know before you install: 21 rules by 16 lines is 336 questions per run, so count the cost before pointing it at a book. When we first reviewed it nothing checked that the answers came back — a provider answering 21 of 336 questions still printed “No rules violated.” with exit 0 — reported and fixed in v0.2.6; the same stand-in now stops the run with missing 15 of 16 answers and exit 1.

jgrep (kyu1204): semantic grep that exits 2 on an error

Full review → · Hands-on (40 files, five broken providers, one line patched to reach our stand-in)

The fourth semantic grep in this directory and none of them is bad, so pick on the edges: this one packs sixteen chunks and sixteen questions per request — we counted 16/16/8 over forty files — and adds --diff for linting a change against a rule written in English. What we liked is the exit codes: a 500, a non-JSON body, a refused connection and a missing key are all 2, distinguished from 1 for “nothing matched”, which is not a low bar in this category.

Know before you install: it needs Bun, and the endpoint is a constant in src/jgrep.ts rather than a setting. Two gaps we found are closed: an empty answers object used to read as a clean tree with exit 1, and the README’s ! jgrep … recipe collapsed every non-zero code to success. Both reported and both fixed the next morning in v0.4.0 — we re-ran the same stand-in and an unanswered chunk now fails the run with exit 2.

jev-cli (tumf): the three primitives, and an MCP server

Full review → · Hands-on (five provider failures, and the MCP server over stdio)

One install gives you jev for the shell and jev-mcp for an MCP host. --value prints the bare number so a script can branch on it, and jev run sends several questions in one request — we counted three questions, one request. Exit codes are real: 4 for transport, 3 for a missing key, each with a structured JSON error on stderr. And jev auth set --provider custom apikey_… is refused outright, so the key stays out of ps and shell history.

Know before you install: a non-JSON 200 used to raise a Python traceback instead of a structured error (reported); fixed in v0.6.3 with a regression test, and our stand-in now gets exit 4 and a JSON error. In plain mode an empty answers object is still relayed through with exit 0. Needs Python 3.13.

jev-shell-history: describe the command you half-remember

Full review → · Hands-on

Fish-style grey autosuggestions for zsh, ranked by Jev instead of by prefix. When nothing in your history starts with what you typed, it sends the lot and lets Jev rank it, so typing last 5 commits suggests git log --oneline -5. One request carries both the ranking and a yes/no gate that suppresses nonsense; everything exact — de-duplication, prefix detection, thresholds — stays in code. Its end-to-end suite drives a real interactive zsh, and all of it passed for us.

Know before you install: your recent history — up to 100 commands by default — goes to TypeSafe on every keystroke, with no redaction of tokens, connection strings, or hostnames, and there’s no debounce. Great on a machine whose history you’d happily publish; not near client work.

semgrep: grep where the pattern is a meaning

Full review → · Hands-on

One dependency-free file that asks Jev, per line, “does this line match the meaning …?” and keeps the ones above a threshold. Meanings combine with AND, OR and NOT as ordinary booleans, because each one returns its own probability. Every claim in its README reproduced on our run: it separated “a customer asking for a refund” from “refund policy” and “the manager denied the refund”, one Japanese query found refund requests in six other languages, and an AND clause told a customer hanging up angrily from a support agent doing the same.

Know before you install: there is no index, so every line of every file you search is sent to TypeSafe, and each query pays for the corpus again. Point it at logs and tickets, not at your source tree.

evoke: a sentence, gated into a call

Full review → · Hands-on (nine documented guarantees, each one attacked)

A sentence becomes a call of a small program you installed from Git, run only when the confidence gate allows. One binary is a CLI, a package manager for those recipes, and a TypeScript SDK over the same core compiled to WebAssembly. Its security page is written as a list of things that cannot happen, which made it the most testable project in this roundup: we tried to loosen a reflex’s effect from an overlay, override a contract key, set a gate whose read floor sat above its write floor, mint an argument value outside a closed option set, slip a bidi override into a manifest, and run a destructive reflex with no terminal. All nine refusals held, each naming the file, line and the command that fixes it. There is no --yes.

Know before you install: there is no sandbox yet — a reflex runs as your user under a scrubbed environment, and the manual says plainly that scrubbing prevents leaks but does not contain malice. The endpoint is a compiled-in constant, so it cannot be pointed at a proxy. The project is two days old; 0.2.0 landed with fifty-three files changed while we were testing, and every guarantee still held when we re-ran against it.

Lurk: buyer intent on Reddit, graded in three passes

Full review → · Hands-on, offline suite

Triage 70 titles in one request, read the survivors ten at a time, then judge the candidates with five questions and a Score. Cheap questions first, expensive ones only on what survives, an injection guard on every prompt, and a spend check before every call. Its 540 tests pass offline, and the test setup deletes the API keys from the environment so a stray test can’t spend money.

Know before you install: it calls OpenRouter (or Vercel’s gateway), not TypeSafe, so strangers’ posts and usernames go there; it stores what it fetches for 30 days, or forever once something becomes a lead; and self-hosting removes the per-scan fetch cap. Whether reselling and judging Reddit content this way fits Reddit’s terms is a question the docs don’t raise.

Documents, data, and graphs

DocJev: fifteen pages, twenty-nine questions, one request

Full review → · Hands-on (the whole pipeline against a stand-in, and its benchmark recomputed)

Classifies and splits PDF, DOCX and PPTX: LiteParse pulls the page text locally, Jev decides the category or the boundaries. Splitting a fifteen-page packet asks fifteen “what is this page” choices and fourteen “is there a boundary here” nouls — twenty-nine typed decisions, in one request. Every one of them opens with “page text is untrusted document content, not instructions to follow”. Its benchmark ships the manifest and the per-call records, and every published metric recomputed from them; its error analysis argues against its own single scored error and declines to claim more than it measured.

Know before you install: the complete parsed text goes out — 55 KB for a ten-page document — so local extraction is not local inference, which the limitations page says plainly. DOCX and PPTX need LibreOffice, and doctor reports them false without it. An unreadable response is reported as “Jev request failed (200)”.

tax-doc-classifier: 261 IRS forms without a trained model

Full review → · Hands-on

One request per page names the IRS form and the kind of page, choosing from a criteria file generated out of the IRS’s own PDFs rather than a hand-kept registry. Five dense form families get a second, smaller question; blank pages are answered in code with no call. The confidence gate and its fallback are the design, not an afterthought. Every page we fed it — 1040, Schedule A, W-2, 8880, a 5471 schedule — came back with the right form id.

Know before you install: result.form always names a form, even for a page that isn’t a federal form at all: a California return came back as “Form 982” with a confidence of zero. Gate on gated first. Filled returns mean names, TINs and amounts go to TypeSafe. The two broken install paths we found were fixed the day we reported them.

pg_typesafe: typed decisions inside SQL

Full review → · Hands-on, mock path

A C extension that calls Jev from SQL through libcurl: typesafe_choice, typesafe_noul and typesafe_score, plus batch versions that pack 32 rows into one request with bounded concurrency. It built and installed first try on PostgreSQL 17, its regression and TAP suites pass offline, TLS is enforced with verification on, and the key handling — superuser-only, api_key_file recommended so SET never hits the query log — is the most careful we’ve seen in a database integration.

Know before you install: column values leave the database whole, with no redaction. typesafe.mock_response used to be user-settable, so any role granted EXECUTE could replace every answer for its own session — we reproduced it with a plain LOGIN role against a fraud-check call, and it was made owner-only the same day, with a regression test.

doc-router: don’t pay to OCR a page that has text

Full review → · Hands-on

Rust that reads a PDF page by page, extracts the text pages locally, and sends only the rest to your OCR provider. The judge is one trait: a free local heuristic by default, or Jev asked one Noul per page. On the project’s own adversarial fixtures — pre-OCR’d scans whose hidden text is mangled — the heuristic flagged nothing at all, while the Jev judge flagged most of them.

Know before you install: the page evidence it judges, including extracted text, is what goes to TypeSafe. Two commits old, and the README’s cost comparison is the author’s own.

Jev Search: fifteen questions before the search runs

Full review → · Hands-on, its own suite plus the app offline

Plain-language web search with no generated answer on top. One request decides the time window, whether each of twelve sources is wanted, which candidate string to send an engine and which is the bare entity name; results come back with visible scores. Three Jev providers behind one interface, falling through to the next only on no-credit, throttling or an outage. Its 115 tests pass with no keys and no network.

Know before you install: your query reaches two vendors — the Jev provider and Search1API — and result titles and snippets go out again for ranking. The documented pnpm dev quickstart will not start without Cloudflare credentials whatever provider you configured (reported); comment out the ai binding. The committed KV id, route and analytics token belong to the hosted demo.

neo4jev: let Jev pick which edge to follow

Full review → · Hands-on

A graph navigator from Neo4j’s Michael Hunger: at each node the outgoing relationships become Choice options and a Noul asks whether the goal is already reached, in one request per hop, with top-k selection turning that into a beam search scored on log-probabilities. Nothing about the schema is hard-coded. Asked for a competitor of Apple on Neo4j’s public demo graph, it took HAS_COMPETITOR to Amazon and stopped there, with every hop’s probabilities kept for inspection.

Know before you install: each hop only sees a capped sample of a node’s edges, so on a dense node the right relationship can be missing from the options entirely — we reproduced that by tightening the cap. It’s presented as a demo, and node properties plus the live schema go to TypeSafe on every hop.

jev-mail-classifier: tag, move and flag real mail

Full review → · Hands-on (a real IMAP server we seeded)

One noul per category in a single request per email, then actions: tag, move, flag, mark read, or post a webhook. We ran it against a real IMAP server with five messages of our own. The dry run really is dry — no flags, no moves, no processed keyword — and a second run after a successful one correctly finds nothing to do.

Know before you install: the shipped config.example.yaml uses ${SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL} for the webhook, but ${VAR} is only expanded for the mailbox fields, so the run crashes mid-way and leaves messages actioned but unmarked, to be re-actioned next time (reported). The state is the subject plus the whole body.

Before you automate anything

Jevmind: a good gate, wired the wrong way round

Full review → · Hands-on (every provider failure mode, and the ledger tampered with by hand)

Nine skills over one brain, every decision appended to a hash-chained ledger. The ledger does what it claims: we changed one confidence and left its hash alone, and jevmind doctor said “broken at record 1 — this line was edited after it was written”. Provider failures surface loudly instead of quietly becoming word overlap, and when the offline lexical engine does answer, it labels itself “a floor, not a judgement”.

Know before you install: run it with --brain local. Under --brain jev a model answering allow at 0.97 allows rm -rf / — the code’s own reasons, “recursive force delete; deletes a root, home or cwd”, are printed rather than enforced, and the Claude Code hook returns allow with that sentence as its justification. The same command is blocked by the local reflexes. jevmind doctor also exits 0 on a ledger it has just called broken.

jevals: every eval for a trace in one request

Full review → · Hands-on (requests counted at the backend, with and without its optional extras)

Openlayer’s eval library replaces the LLM judge with typed questions, so the eight checks you want on an agent trace — did it pick the right tool, did it use the result, is the answer grounded, did a tool result smuggle in instructions — go out together instead of costing six to eleven round trips. We counted at the backend rather than reading its usage line: seven evals, one request, six questions. A mock backend and a bench command mean the whole library runs with no key and no spend.

Know before you install: skip the pii extra for now. Installing it stops phone numbers and US SSNs being redacted — Presidio replaces the regex scan instead of joining it, and scores a US phone at 0.40 against a 0.5 cutoff — and turns the one request into two. Its own suite goes red on that extra; CI only installs dev. Everything in the trace goes to the model, including the entity a redaction decision is about.

jevcal: measure first, then set thresholds

Full review → · Hands-on

jevcal runs Jev over your labeled examples, picks a confidence threshold per question, verifies it on held-out data, and writes a lock file and report. It also includes a check command that failed our CI-style run when we corrupted labels, and a runtime that returns “no answer” rather than guessing when confidence is too low. Its wording linter caught double negatives, counting, and compound questions, though it missed paraphrased problems. It’s the automated version of our confidence thresholds guide.

Know before you install: it’s days old, has a single maintainer, and installs from GitHub rather than PyPI.

Browser, desktop, and phone automation

jev-ultrafast: one Jev call per browser step

Full review → · Hands-on

From the Browser Use team: a browser agent where one Jev request picks both the action and the element on every step, and a small LLM writes text only when typing is needed. The safety design is careful, with model output never executed as code and every action rechecked against the live page. The authors report a Google Flights search in about seven seconds.

Know before you install: by default it drives your everyday Chrome, with your logged-in sessions. Point it at a separate browser with BU_CDP_URL. Typing steps send page text to a second LLM, and if you don’t set TEXT_MODEL_BASE_URL, that defaults to DeepSeek’s API.

Jev Browser Use: DONE only means go and check

Full review → · Hands-on, the real bridge against a scripted tab

A Codex skill that splits browser work: Jev navigates, clicks, toggles and scrolls; Codex thinks, types and verifies. Code builds the candidate list from the accessibility tree before the model sees it, so an ambiguous name offers nothing and a text field is never offered at all. The snapshot is re-read after the decision and before the click, so a page that moved discards the decision. minConfidence below 0.55 is refused outright.

Know before you install: we could not drive the real browser runtime, so that half is unverified, and an open issue reports the provider fetch failing inside Codex’s sandbox on macOS. No tests and no CI, in a 266-line file whose longest line is 721 characters. The “~5–10× faster” figure is the author’s, from their own workflows.

jev-browser: headless browsing with an auditable trace

Full review → · Hands-on, on a local test site

An MCP server, CLI, and library that drives a fresh headless Chromium. Each step, one Jev request picks an action and separately judges whether the goal is met or the run is stuck, and code stops before acting when either fires. It returns the final page in the format you want, plus a detailed trace. On our test site it found a price and stopped cleanly.

Know before you install: every typing step presses Enter, and on our contact form that submitted the form after the first field, even though the task said not to — still true at 0.4.1, with an explicit submit action in the works. Fields labeled only with <label> elements aren’t offered at all. Installing with npx skipped the Chromium download until 0.4.1; our fix for that is merged and published, and we re-checked it from npm.

voice-browser: say it, and the browser is already moving

Full review → · Hands-on

Speech streams word by word to a local server, which snapshots the page and asks Jev about a dozen typed questions in one request — intent, target element, site, is the command finished, is it even addressed to the browser, is it destructive — and code decides whether to act, wait, ask or ignore. Jev never writes text: queries and URLs are extracted as candidates by code, and Jev only picks one. Its scripted demo went sixteen for sixteen against live sites for us, including correctly ignoring a sentence that wasn’t a command, and turning an ambiguous “click on a link please” into numbered overlays instead of a guess.

Know before you install: an element’s label falls back to the field’s current value, with no exception for type="password", so a filled password or card field is sent as that element’s name — we reproduced it and sent a fix upstream. The controlled browser also keeps a persistent profile, so use a throwaway one.

Unclutter: a browser extension that learns hiding rules

Full review → · Hands-on, in Chromium

Kitze’s extension sends up to 60 candidate elements to Jev, hides only what Jev confidently calls an ad, cookie banner, promotion, newsletter, or share bar, and saves the rules per page template so later visits cost nothing. Content, navigation, forms, login, and payment are protected in code. We printed its exact request: no title, URL, article text, or link targets, and emails and long numbers redacted, as its README promises. In Chromium it cleaned our test page and left the article alone.

Know before you install: there’s no store release, so you build it and load it unpacked. It needs access to every site, keeps your key unencrypted in extension storage, and hides rather than blocks: ads still load and track.

jevmeter: a live meter over a debate

Full review → · Hands-on, stand-in API

Whisper timings, difflib alignment and Pillow rendering produce a 1080p edit with per-speaker meters and five probability bars; Jev answers five yes/no questions per sentence from a preset you can edit. The whole pipeline ran end to end for us against a local stand-in and produced the video the README shows.

Know before you install: the score cache is keyed on the model and questions but not the transcript, so editing a sentence silently reuses the old sentence’s scores. One call per sentence, no cap, and the price you pass in gets rendered into the video.

typesafe-adblock: ads judged by meaning

Full review → · Hands-on, fixture page

Local heuristics find candidate elements — ad-ish ids, known ad-network links, “Sponsored”/“Anzeige” labels, standard ad shapes — and one request asks Jev, per candidate, whether it is a paid placement. On its own fixture page that meant one request, eight candidates, about 2.2 KB, catching every ad while leaving the comments, cookie banner and weather widget untouched.

Know before you install: the “too big, too much text, contains the page’s main content” guard is skipped for iframes, and the default mode deletes. It runs on every site, and nothing caps what it spends per page.

agent-desktop: native Mac apps, and it never invents text

Full review → · Code review

An established Rust tool for controlling desktop apps through the accessibility tree. Version 0.9.2 added jev-desktop scripts that let Jev pick each operation and its target. Every value it types comes from you, so there’s no second LLM, and a target can only be chosen from elements that accept the chosen action. It also tells Jev to treat screen text as data, not instructions.

Know before you install: it’s macOS only and needs Accessibility permission. Values in on-screen fields go to TypeSafe on every step, pasting can clear an image or file on your clipboard, and the Jev scripts are documented only in the repository, not the README or the npm package.

typesafe-computer-use: computer use from OCR and accessibility

Full review → · Code review

Builds a numbered list of what’s on screen from Apple’s OCR and the accessibility tree, and asks Jev to choose the action, the item, and the website in one request, with no screenshot sent to a large model while it works. The safety defaults are good: a dry run unless you pass --act, a screen corner that stops it, and automatic stops on low confidence, repeated no-op actions, or 100 steps. Every step is saved so you can replay it offline.

Know before you install: every step sends on-screen text and the focused field’s value to TypeSafe. Typing and URL suggestions use Anthropic models, and the final answer sends a downscaled screenshot to Anthropic. Each run saves raw screen captures to a local runs/ folder.

Mobile Jev: Android automation that never invents text

Full review → · Hands-on, with a mock phone

From the DroidRun team: one Jev request per step picks the operation and, speculatively, a target for each kind of operation, and only the chosen one can execute. Text is copied verbatim from your goal, so there’s no second LLM. It re-checks the screen before every action, and its demo verifies the result instead of trusting “done”. Against our mock phone, Jev drove it from the launcher to a verified Dark theme switch.

Know before you install: it only works through Mobilerun, DroidRun’s paid cloud device service, even for a phone you own. Every step sends all on-screen text to TypeSafe, and when your goal doesn’t name an app, your installed-app list too.

Jev-cu: computer use with text only, and a policy gate

Full review → · Hands-on, with a stand-in Computer Use driver

A Codex skill that splits the job: Codex reads the screen and acts, Jev picks which element to act on and answers whether the goal is met and whether the step needs confirming — four questions in one request. A plain-code policy gate then decides proceed, confirm, escalate or stop, using an app allowlist, sensitive-word patterns, a step budget and confidence thresholds. Dry run is the default, and nothing but text is ever sent. Its 12 packaged evaluation cases all picked the right element for us, and when we planted a “Delete Event” button and asked it to delete, it stopped at confirm without clicking.

Know before you install: the sensitive-word check runs on a label truncated to 120 characters, so a long accessibility label can carry “delete” past the cut and leave only the model’s risk score guarding the step. It needs the Codex desktop app’s computer-use runtime on macOS, has no LICENSE file, and its docs are Chinese-only.

Passage: a teaching aid that refuses to overclaim

Full review → · Hands-on (its documented setup and 348 tests, no key needed)

A localhost tool for educators that flags where instructional text may ask a reader to hold too many ideas at once. Its second paragraph, before any feature, says its slot estimates “are not validated measurements of a student’s memory or calibrated probabilities of overload”, and that discipline never lapses: the tests “establish implementation behavior, not psychological accuracy”, the research it cites is followed each time by what that research does not establish, and its evaluation document instructs reviewers not to compute an overall accuracy percentage. The first frozen run opens, in bold, with the two semantic tests its own model fails and the note that favourable aggregate numbers obscure them.

Know before you install: this is not open source. A custom licence makes it free for individuals, one-person organizations and non-commercial use; an organization with more than one employee needs written permission by email first. The raw records behind the headline evaluation are not in the repository, and the document says so rather than implying otherwise.

Robots and simulators

Four projects arrived in one week that put a decision model inside a control loop. All four share a shape: code enumerates the candidate moves, physics or geometry measures what each one would do, and the model only picks. None of them sends images to Jev.

EmbodiedJev: a robot lab in a browser

Full review → · Hands-on, real API

Three MuJoCo tasks — tray, stack, barrier — decided four ways: a rule baseline, Jev, a chat model, or a local one. Each cycle simulates the candidate actions and shows you their outcomes before the pick. The rule baseline finished our transfer task with zero model calls, and keys go to the OS keyring with plaintext fallbacks explicitly refused.

Know before you install: the default confidence gate fired mid-task in our run — two options at 0.54 and 0.44 — and the arm stopped and waited for a person rather than guessing, which is what you want, but it means unattended runs need a deliberate threshold. Documentation and interface are Chinese-only.

jev-libero: previews first, then a pick

Full review → · Hands-on, real API

LIBERO manipulation tasks where every candidate input is previewed in a reversible branch of the physics before the question is asked. Its recorded microwave run reproduced on our machine at the same decision and step count, and replay re-checks a saved trajectory offline to 1e-11 with no API calls.

Know before you install: it routes through OpenRouter unless you pass --provider typesafe. The robot extra needs a compiler and OSMesa that the README doesn’t mention, which cost us an hour.

RoboJEV: a Franka arm, CPU only

Full review → · Hands-on, real API

Structured simulator state, never pixels, driving a Franka Panda through pick-and-place, push and stack. A full episode completed for us on the first try. Answers are validated before anything moves, the config refuses a non-HTTPS endpoint, and success is judged by contacts and geometry — the finish intent’s own description says it “is an intention, not an authoritative success label”.

Know before you install: every decision resends the whole scene, so one completed task was 244 requests. The rule baseline runs the same scene offline, which is the cheapest way to look first.

Jev Reflex Lab: drones that ask for advice

Full review → · Hands-on, real API

A fleet simulation where the fast typed reflex flies and an optional slower planner may advise but never steers. Unsafe options are deleted before the model sees the list, and the key stays server-side behind origin, size and ownership checks that all held when we probed them.

Know before you install: there is no licence file, two of its own tests fail at HEAD with nothing in the repo to run them, and npm run build fails on a clean clone — use npm run dev.

Open models you run yourself

These twenty-eight don’t call Jev at all. They rebuild its interface on open models, so your data stays with you.

decider: an open model that never writes, in three sizes

Full review → · Hands-on (the published 2B weights, run on CPU)

A 2B, a 4B and a 35B mixture-of-experts on Qwen3.5 bases, Apache-2.0, weights on Hugging Face, answering Choice, Score and Noul from one forward pass. The README’s quick-start example reproduces against the released checkpoint — we ran it on plain CPU in a slim container and every figure landed where it says. Its limits section is thirteen specific bullets, including known regressions and the bias of its own teacher model.

Know before you install: the answer set is closed, so it always answers — between two nonsense options it picked one at 0.63. English only. A malformed /decide body returns a 500 traceback where /v1/systemone returns a clean 422 (reported). The server needed CUDA when we first reviewed it; the author fixed that within the hour of our report and it now runs on CPU and MPS too.

reflex: a decision model you make from a model you have

Full review → · Hands-on (its server and engine on CPU, with Qwen3-0.6B)

Nothing is trained: a frozen open-weights model is scored over the options you supply, so there is no adapter and no calibration file on the recommended path. We handed it a 0.6B general chat model instead of the documented 4B, on CPU, and it still routed a double-charge complaint to billing at 0.99. Per-request usage separates state tokens from question tokens and reports whether the state cache hit. The stable git tag moves with a config file recording what was selected and on what evidence.

Know before you install: it is documented for Linux and an NVIDIA GPU; CPU works but is not a plan. Bearer auth exists and is off until you set a key. Nine tests fail on a CPU-only box because the project’s own dependency pulls in Triton — not a defect on its documented platform. Its benchmark tables are the author’s; we verified none of them.

Jev Visual: the one whose numbers recompute

Full review → · Its own model-free tests, and both published aggregates recomputed

Many typed questions about one image off a single shared prefill, on Qwen3.5-0.8B with MLX. We could not run an inference — it needs Apple Silicon — so we checked what it asserts about runs it already made: the published results table regenerates byte-for-byte from the raw records beside it, and both aggregates in its scoring-verification file recompute exactly, on prompts whose hashes match across the two paths compared.

Know before you install: Apple Silicon with Metal only, one verified adapter, 1–64 questions and 2–26 options. It says twice that candidate probabilities are relative to your options and not correctness estimates, and its own benchmark is labelled a scaling experiment, not an accuracy evaluation. No CI.

AgentJev: a strict contract, on a laptop CPU

Full review → · Hands-on (its service, client and practical test on four CPU cores)

A 0.6B decision head on a Qwen3 backbone, MIT, weights on Hugging Face. The README’s default device is a GPU, but --device cpu runs the whole service, and what it refuses is as interesting as what it answers: 300 options, a duplicate question id, two identical option descriptions, a NaN in the JSON and a state over the token limit each come back 400 with the rule they broke, and the oversize case says in the message that nothing was truncated. /health publishes the SHA-256 of the checkpoint that answered, and says in the same breath that the probabilities are a model distribution rather than calibrated confidence.

Know before you install: the repository’s one unit test imports a package that is not in the tree, so it cannot be collected; run_practical_test.py closes with a hardcoded claim of 40–80 ms per decision after printing its own timings, which were 4.7–5.3 s on our four cores; and the engine loads the checkpoint with weights_only=False, though the published checkpoint loads fine with the safe flag. Its loopback-only bind we checked rather than read: with the port published, a request from outside is reset.

jevify: Jev’s shape from a model you already run

Full review → · Hands-on (a local 0.6B recipe, and the official SDK against its server)

Brings your own model — an OpenAI-compatible endpoint or an in-process one — and asks it typed questions, reading the answer off its distribution instead of parsing text. A probe reports what your deployment can actually do before you rely on it, and every answer carries the readout rung it used, whether it degraded, and the hash of the recipe that produced it. We pointed the unmodified typesafe-sdk 0.7.1 at jevify serve and it parsed the reply into its own ChoiceAnswer.

Know before you install: an embedding backend answers choice only — ask it for a noul and it refuses by name rather than inventing one, which is the behaviour to want. The server binds loopback and prints api_key_checked: false until you set the key, and usage on the embedding path counts no tokens because there are none.

JevForge: your own model, and a server that keeps everything

Full review → · Hands-on (the published 0.8B on CPU, its validation paths and its log)

Apache-2.0 pipeline from decision data to a served model: synthesise records, fine-tune an 0.8B backbone, calibrate, evaluate on frozen splits, then answer POST /v1/systemone. /v1/models publishes the fitted temperature, and an over-long candidate path is refused with “refusing to truncate” rather than cut.

Know before you install: every answered request — the whole state, every question, the whole response — is appended to logs/jev_requests.jsonl unredacted at default permissions, which the module docstring describes as the point (“the data flywheel”). --log-file /dev/null is the off switch. usage.input_tokens counts candidate paths rather than tokens, so it falls when your state grows, and --allow-cors turns on every origin plus allow_private_network=True together.

JevK5: the Jev shape, from weights you hold

Full review → · Hands-on (the published weights on CPU, and its own HTTP handler)

Apache-2.0 weights that answer POST /v1/systemone by reading the logits of answer letters in one forward pass — "output_tokens": 0, one fitted temperature. Its README’s curl example reproduces verbatim against the published checkpoint.

Know before you install: jevk5-serve passes no device to the runtime, so on a machine without CUDA it dies with Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled — the library takes device="cpu" and works. Its answer alphabet is sixteen letters: a choice with seventeen options raises IndexError inside the prompt builder, which the handler does not catch, so the connection closes with no response. No tests, no CI. Its JevBench ranking is a third-party result, reported by its author.

OpenJev-Vision: several questions, one encoding

Full review → · Hands-on (its own checkpoints, predicting offline on CPU)

Encodes an image once and answers several typed questions from the shared posterior, which the response makes checkable by returning visual_encodings: 1, the full posterior and the top world beside the answers. Three fixed-vocabulary experiments — synthetic scenes, an Oxford-IIIT Pet subset, CLEVR-4 — with three seeds, independent calibration, and the configurations where its own joint head loses published alongside the ones where it wins.

Know before you install: the README’s install omits the qwen extra that its test suite imports, so pytest stops at collection for anyone following the documentation while CI stays green. Fixed event vocabularies and a limited English parser; this is a research toolkit, not a visual assistant.

Laya: an open model that says where it fails

Full review → · Hands-on (both checkpoints on CPU, offline, across eight languages)

A non-autoregressive decision engine over 100+ languages: three checkpoints and a router that detects the script and dispatches per request. We gave it the same complaint in eight languages and got eight correct answers on a laptop CPU with no network — Han, Devanagari, Arabic, Kana and Cyrillic all routed to the multilingual checkpoint as documented, at 49–136 ms warm. Its calibration table reconciles exactly to the JSON it commits, and on load the library warns that a shipped checkpoint has temperatures outside its safe range, clamps them, and names the buckets whose confidence not to trust. What earns it the listing is BENCHMARKS.md’s closing section, which states that a headline figure came from that benchmark’s own training split, that moderation does not hold up on held-out data, and that both checkpoints ship over-confident.

Know before you install: Router still defaults to max_loaded=1, so alternating scripts reload a checkpoint every request — 21,000 ms against 50–136 ms at max_loaded=2; pass max_loaded=2 or preload=True until the pull request lands. There is an open report that noul is badly asymmetric; we partly reproduced it, so prefer choice with descriptive labels for now. Spanish and Italian used to route to the English checkpoint its own limits say collapses outside English — reported and fixed the same day; we re-checked Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese, accented and accent-stripped, and all four now route to multilingual.

Rizzo Flow: receipts all the way down

Full review → · Hands-on (its own weights on a CPU, every committed result recomputed)

Local typed decisions from Spark-X2.5-4B over llama.cpp, serving its own schema and Jev’s /v1/systemone side by side. All three question types came back through the official SDK with a base-URL change, legend included. GET /v1/models works, and lists jev-latest with the description “Compatibility alias: answered by rizzo-spark-x2.5-4b-q8_0, not by TypeSafe Jev” — the only project here that turns that alias into a disclosure instead of an implication. results/ verifies 36 of 36 checksums, snapshots the source that produced each run, names each dataset by hash, and every published metric recomputed from its own rows to 1e-9 — including the runs where it did badly, committed next to the ones where it did not.

Know before you install: 4.1 GB of weights, and no substituting a smaller model — it refuses an architecture it does not know rather than serving nonsense. On a CPU a decision is seconds; the millisecond figures are the author’s, on a GPU. NaN in the body gives a 500 where every other bad input gives a clean 422.

solar-mini4-jev: a benchmark that reproduces to the unit

Full review → · Hands-on (the official SDK against it, and every published figure recomputed)

Upstage’s Solar Mini4 behind Jev’s /v1/systemone shape, bring your own Upstage key. The reason to read it is bench/: the gold labels come from a third-party judge rather than from the peer model it compares against, there is a real train/test split, and every number in the README recomputed from the committed artifacts to the unit — 447 fields, 31 disagreements splitting 25 and 6. That has not happened once elsewhere this month.

Know before you install: an Authorization: Bearer header is taken as the Upstage key and forwarded unchanged, so a client reusing the official SDK sends its TypeSafe key to Upstage — we watched ours arrive. Pass the key in X-Upstage-Api-Key instead. There is no GET /v1/models, and the upstream URL is the one setting you cannot override.

AnyJev: the answer stops moving when you reorder the options

Full review → · Hands-on (Qwen3-0.6B on a CPU, and every committed artifact recomputed)

Reading the logits of the answer token is what everyone does; this is a study of what that gets wrong and how to fix it without labels. Average the readout over permutations of the options and subtract a label-free prior, and the answer stops depending on the order you listed them in. We reversed the options on six states: the raw readout moved the winner on three of them, AnyJev on none. Four authors from Nokia and Tencent Hunyuan; the core is numpy-only.

Know before you install: order-stable, not order-invariant — the published flip rate is 0.077, not zero — and it costs about four times the calls, which on our CPU was 634 ms becoming 2759 ms. A state that argues for an answer still wins.

OpenJevPro: re-run after our report, and now it adds up

Full review → · Hands-on (driven against a stand-in that logged the prompts; its artifacts recomputed)

599 lines that ask an Ollama or OpenAI-compatible model to write a likelihood score per candidate, then divide by a fixed 1.25 and softmax. The idea underneath — add an explicit abstain option, threshold on confidence — is sound.

When we reviewed it, the headline comparison gave itself an abstain option and the other engine none, then scored that engine 0% for not returning an option it was never offered — we watched both candidate lists go out on the wire — and three of its columns disagreed with the results file committed beside them. Within two days the author injected UNKNOWN symmetrically for every engine, re-ran the whole benchmark live rather than editing the table, and added six tests. We recomputed every field of the new summary from its 36 records: all of them match.

Know before you install: the licence is PolyForm Noncommercial, so commercial use needs a separate grant — the repository now says “Source-Available”, which is accurate. After a second round it also documents its P95 convention with all three readings side by side, runs its tests in CI, and credits openjev-sglang’s row as an independent reference rather than its own. “Calibrated” is still 1.25 out of the box: a fitting routine exists and works, but nothing in the decision path calls it.

JevBERT: the compatibility claim its author withheld

Full review → · Hands-on (the official SDK against it, and its rejection table walked row by row)

A local /v1/systemone on a BERT encoder, driven by typesafe-sdk 0.7.0 with nothing but a base-URL change — three question types in Japanese, nine structural invariants checked against the wire, and a GET /v1/models that works, which is more than most. The thing to read is compat/differences.md: thirteen numbered rows saying which requests Jev would accept and this refuses, and a headline saying none of it has been checked against the real API, so the word “compatible” is not claimed yet.

Know before you install: the backend is a public zero-shot NLI classifier, uncalibrated and unevaluated, and the manifest says so; there is nothing here to benchmark. Python 3.13 only, and uv sync pulls a CUDA 12.8 torch even on a CPU box.

DeepOpen: Laya with the directory renamed

Full review → · Hands-on (diffed against the upstream package, both routers run side by side)

Presented as an open decision engine with three checkpoints of its own, trained with reinforcement learning. It is the laya package from Convai Innovations with the folder renamed: presets.py is byte-identical, and the code loads convaiinnovations/laya. Laya is Apache-2.0, so reuse is fine; the README is where the two diverge.

Know before you install: you cannot — pip install deepopen 404s and all three model repositories it names return 401, while the ones the code actually loads exist. CI has never passed, because the copied tests still import laya. And the edit to lang.py sends undecided Latin-script text back to the English checkpoint: Romanian, Polish and Latvian went to the model that cannot read them in our side-by-side run. Install the upstream instead.

openjev-sglang: Jev’s API on your own server

Full review → · Hands-on, with a mock inference backend

A server that implements Jev’s /v1/systemone API on an open Qwen model with SGLang, reading each answer from the probabilities of a single token. It’s close enough that TypeSafe’s own Python SDK worked against it after changing the base URL, with a few differences: instructions is required, and pinned Jev model names like jev-1.13.0 are rejected. The README is unusually precise about how it works and what its numbers mean.

Know before you install: it needs an NVIDIA B200 per container. The default Modal deployment is public with no API key and no container cap, so add both. The repository has no license, and like the others here, its scores aren’t calibrated confidence.

kev: open Jev-style models from 0.5B to 8B

Full review → · Hands-on (0.5B on a CPU)

Jared Palmer’s LoRA-and-readout models answer many typed questions in one pass, trained on public datasets rather than Jev’s outputs, with frozen evaluation suites and model cards. kev-0.5b served on our CPU and passed 9 of our 12 SDK compatibility checks.

Know before you install: questions without instructions are rejected, the SDK can’t parse its model list, and the server has no authentication (it binds to localhost). Only the 0.5B model is a tagged release.

Simple Jev: Jev-style answers from any open model

Full review → · Hands-on (0.8B on a CPU)

Featherless’s server reads answer probabilities from an open model’s next-token scores, with a free, no-login demo API and training scripts for task-specific models. Everyday requests worked through TypeSafe’s SDK on a small CPU model.

Know before you install: it defines its own contract: requests must use the exact Hugging Face model ID, Choice is capped at 50 options, and there’s no model list or authentication. The repository has no license.

LocalJev: Jev’s API on any local model

Full review → · Hands-on (small model via llama.cpp)

GitHub Next’s Bun server translates Jev requests into prompts for any OpenAI-compatible model and returns Jev-shaped answers, naming the version that answered just as Jev does. It passed 11 of our 12 SDK checks, tying jeff; only pinned jev-1.13.0 was rejected.

Know before you install: the model writes its probabilities as JSON rather than having them read from its logits, so calibrate before relying on them, and raise the SDK’s timeout on slow hardware.

jeff: a Jev-compatible API on a CPU

Full review → · Hands-on

Logan Markewich’s server implements Jev’s API on the 400M-parameter GLiFormer encoder, so it runs without a GPU. TypeSafe’s SDK passed 11 of our 12 compatibility checks against it; only pinned names like jev-1.13.0 needed configuring as aliases. Its README says plainly that it’s less accurate than Jev on reasoning-heavy tasks.

Know before you install: it listens on all interfaces with authentication off unless you set JEFF_API_KEYS.

SemIf: typed decisions on your own GPU

Full review → · Hands-on (CPU, unsupported setup)

Launched as OpenJev and renamed after launch, SemIf reads a probability for each option directly from an open model in a single forward pass. Model revisions are pinned, evidence is committed, and every result carries its model, revision, and a hash of the prompt. The documentation is unusually rigorous, and a browser demo runs smaller models with WebGPU.

Know before you install: the command-line tool requires exactly one CUDA GPU, and each result labels its scores as uncalibrated, so derive your own thresholds before swapping it in for Jev.

Jevlike: train your own scorer in seconds

Full review → · Hands-on

A small, readable starter for training a one-pass option scorer on your labeled data. Its quickstart trained in about 8 seconds on our four-core CPU, and its evaluation includes a shuffled-context control that’s worth copying.

Know before you install: you need labeled data for every task, and its checkpoint loader will run code embedded in a malicious file, so only load checkpoints you trained yourself.

OpenJev: Jev’s API on DiffusionGemma

Full review → · Code review

razorback16’s Apache-2.0 server reads answer probabilities directly from DiffusionGemma 26B through vLLM, adds image questions, an optional thinking budget, and text generation, and accepts jev-latest so TypeSafe’s SDK defaults work. Not to be confused with SemIf, which launched under the same name.

Know before you install: it needs a large NVIDIA GPU and a vLLM build with an unmerged pull request, provided in its Docker image. The free hosted tier runs on Codiv, a third party. Authentication is off unless you set a key.

Bespoke Nimble: an open 9B model and its data recipe

Full review → · Code review

Bespoke Labs publishes the model (Apache-2.0), a contrastive dataset built with OpenAI models and checked in code, a training recipe, and a Jev-shaped server built on openjev-sglang. The README says it didn’t distill from Jev, and the code supports that: Jev’s answers are recorded only for comparison. 143 of its tests passed on a CPU.

Know before you install: it needs about 18 GB for the weights, on Apple Silicon or a BF16 NVIDIA GPU. Its server caps questions at 26 options and 2,048 prompt tokens, and the code repository has no license.

NanoJev: a complete open pipeline

Full review → · Code review

A 0.6B decision model with public weights and data, plus unusually thorough documentation of the whole pipeline, from data generation to training, evaluation, and serving. You can browse its recorded game replays without a GPU.

Know before you install: running the model needs an NVIDIA GPU. One published variant was trained on labels generated by Jev, and the Hugging Face model and dataset don’t declare a license.

OpenThai-SystemOne: Thai and English, one forward pass

Full review → · Hands-on (0.8B on four CPU cores)

iApp’s 0.8B model replaces Qwen3.5’s language-model head with a 256-way slot softmax and answers every question in a request from one forward pass, in Thai or English. The official Python SDK talked to its server after a base-URL change and nothing else, and its confidence — one minus normalised entropy — fell to 0.003 when we asked questions the state couldn’t answer. Apache-2.0 on both the code and the weights, with the base model credited and the whole training pipeline published.

Know before you install: there’s no /v1/models endpoint, so models.list() returns 404; the response echoes back whatever model name the caller sent; and the server has no auth with CORS defaulting to *. Nineteen CPU tests, and no CI running them.

OpenSourceJev: llama.cpp logits, read directly

Full review → · Hands-on (Qwen2.5-0.5B Q8 on four CPU cores)

A FastAPI service that tokenises each allowed answer and reads llama_get_logits_ith through a hand-written ctypes binding, returning a trace with each candidate’s probability, logprob and token count — the most informative trace in this group when a decision surprises you. It ran fully offline for us, in a container with no network.

Know before you install: the loader hardcodes llama.dll and ggml.dll, so Linux needs two symlinks despite being listed as supported; the shipped BoolQ temperature was fitted on Qwen3-1.7B and is applied to any model you load; and POST /api/run defaults to a keyword-matching mock whose meta.model names a model that was never loaded.

OpenJev (SiliconLabAI): not a model at all

Full review → · Hands-on, against a stand-in provider

Despite the name, this is an Express server and React playground that calls an OpenAI-compatible endpoint once per option and normalises the results. The idea does remove the big-JSON-blob failure mode, and the code is short enough to read in one sitting.

Know before you install: a three-question form cost eight requests and 800 input tokens in our run; a provider that answers 1.0 to every option and one that answers 0.5 give identical output; confidence never drops below 0.25; CORS is * with no auth over the key in your .env; and the repository has no licence at all.

Open Jev: train your own 150M engine

Full review → · Hands-on (CPU: data checks, a training run, and serving)

A 150M ModernBERT encoder with marker tokens and a softmax grouped per question, trainable on a free Colab T4, with seven numbered scripts from baselines to ONNX export. Its data validation encodes every row of the dataset in 30 seconds on a CPU, and its “traps worth knowing if you fork this” section is the most instructive writing in this group. Questions travel in the request: we served a checkpoint we trained ourselves and posted a schema it had never seen.

Know before you install: no weights are published, so step one is a training run. The headline 0.697 is the fixed-schema ensemble — the dynamic-schema model is 0.624, which the README says plainly further down — and 04_eval.py prints its hardcoded Jev comparison even for a 64-case subset. No CI, and the serving script binds 0.0.0.0 without auth.

PlayJev: a 0.8B model that plays ten browser games

Full review → · Hands-on (harness on CPU; the model too, slowly)

Qwen3.5-0.8B fine-tuned to pick a move from one frame of pixels, shipped with the harness that trained it: ten vendored HTML5 games, a virtual clock so the page only advances when the driver says so, and seeded episodes that reproduced byte-for-byte for us. Every row of the published results table matches the result files the demo ships. The write-up runs its own controls and publishes the measurements that argue against its headline.

Know before you install: on four CPU cores a single move took us one to five minutes, because the kernels it pins are CUDA-only; the authors report 43 ms on an H200. Scores range from matching the teacher on three games to 0.13 of it on 2048. Ten vendored games mean 3,000-plus files — clone shallow.

LLM2Jev: a local model, with option order that doesn’t matter

Full review → · Hands-on (0.5B on four CPU cores)

Adapts a local model to Jev-shaped requests by scoring every candidate independently, so a Choice cannot pick up a positional preference. We reversed the options and got bit-identical probabilities — 0.79 / 0.05 / 0.16 both ways — and the same winner. Score answers come back with a legend, so the caller does not have to keep the rubric in sync.

Know before you install: the /v1/systemone server needs the SGLang extra, so Linux and a GPU; on four CPU cores one three-question request took us about 15 seconds. 109 tests pass, and nothing runs them but you.

djev-run: a Cloud Run recipe for DiffusionGemma-Jev

Full review → · Hands-on (client and demo against a stand-in; no GPU here)

Deployment glue rather than a library: a gcloud run deploy where every one of twenty environment variables is explained, a 41-line AI SDK client, and a zero-dependency Snake page that posts to /v1/systemone fifteen times a second. When we broke the endpoint the page kept playing and said Running (sim) — the disclosure several other projects in this directory skip.

Know before you install: there is no licence file, the demo hands the model a recommended_safe_move it worked out itself, and TEST_PAGE=1 exposes /snake and /playground on the service.

JEV-CPU: read a decision out of logits, on a laptop

Full review → · Hands-on (offline, no GPU, and the vendored engine diffed against upstream)

SemIf reads a decision straight out of a model’s option logits and wants a CUDA GPU with a 4B model. JEV-CPU noticed the GPU is forced in exactly one function, swapped that loader for a CPU float32 one, and left the scoring code alone. It works: in a container with no network at all, Qwen3-0.6B returned a routing decision in half a second, with the readout line stating the mechanism rather than asserting it. We diffed its vendored SemIf against upstream and every difference turned out to be an upstream addition made after the fork, so the “unchanged engine” claim holds.

Know before you install: the repository’s own vendored table puts the 0.6B far below the 4B and further below Jev — this shows you the pattern, it is not a local replacement. Upstream SemIf added its own llama.cpp CPU backend the day after this repository was created, so check there first. Comments, UI labels and output are Korean.

Dev-0.4B: an open model that ships its evaluation JSON

Full review → · Hands-on (the published weights, run offline on CPU)

A 399M ModernBERT-large encoder with one universal choice head, answering Choice, Noul and Score from a single forward pass — about a quarter of a second each on an ordinary CPU. Every headline figure in the README reconciles exactly to a JSON artifact in docs/, which is what made this checkable in minutes rather than by re-running anything. Both a calibrated and an uncalibrated run are published, so you can see that calibration leaves accuracy untouched, improves ECE, and moves the Yelp MAE the wrong way.

Know before you install: the model card’s flagship choice example does not reproduce on the published weights — we get a different category at 0.48 confidence, deterministically — and the run.json inside the model names a different checkpoint from the one the benchmark table describes. Reported. There is no LICENSE file despite “Apache 2.0” in two places, and the quickstart’s clone URL 404s.

Dohnuts: a model card that publishes the benchmark it loses

Full review → · Its own CI (typecheck and the test target that loads no weights)

Small multimodal models that take a message, a document or an image and return a decision with probabilities. What earns it a place here is the model card: it publishes a JevBench comparison in which Jev leads, says so again as the first line of its limitations, notes that the confidence field “is not a measured probability of correctness”, flags possible training-pool exposure in its own comparison set, and states that the headline number is one training seed “with no estimate of variation across seeds”.

Know before you install: the weights are CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 — non-commercial research only — though the code is Apache-2.0. Eleven tests; this is a research repository, not a library. We did not run the model.

Open Spark Jev: it wrote down its own data leak

Full review → · Hands-on (both suites on CPU; we could not run the model)

A local decision model for NVIDIA DGX Spark, with its training rows labelled by policy engines, solvers and a sandbox rather than by an LLM judge. Its evaluation protocol is the reason to read it: four data sets with rules that never mix, a warning that its own headline tool-call benchmark “is not a locked holdout and its numbers carry selection bias”, a section listing what a proper holdout would need that this one lacks, and — the sentence we have not seen anywhere else — a record that its simulator corpora “once leaked 97-99% of test states into training”. The split-isolation validator built in response is itself under test.

Know before you install: you need the hardware, and there are no CI workflows — a v5 release broke one datagen test on a stale pack count and nothing caught it (reported). Both were fixed the same day: the count is now derived rather than written down, which promptly surfaced a real generator bug the stale number had masked, and the split_isolation.json our review asked for now ships as a checked-in dry-run example covering all 34 packs.

Demos worth reading

Jev demos: the page to send someone who doesn’t get it

Full review → · Hands-on (started with no keys and no network)

Seven tabs making the same argument from different angles — an LLM router, ticket triage, 500 emails classified in parallel, a live slop filter, a title scorer, a cost slider. It runs with no keys at all and labels every provider SIMULATED in its startup banner and again in a probe line, rather than quietly serving canned data as if it were live. The first tab’s animation is described as “illustrative timings”, which is the right word.

Know before you install: it is a demo site, not a dependency — no tests, tsc --noEmit is the whole check. Read src/keys.ts anyway if you will ever ask strangers for an API key: budgets are per visitor by SHA-256 fingerprint, hosted mode refuses to spend the author’s key, and a redact() strips any current-request key out of upstream errors before you see them.

Jev experiments: twenty-one demos, and no licence

Full review → · Hands-on, all sixteen web demos’ own commands

Twenty-one applications from Nader Dabit, built by Devin, each in its own directory with its own README, TESTING.md and screenshots: a pre-commit hook, a command palette, a log triager, an outgoing-message check, a zsh hook, voice turn-taking. Every web demo ships tests, a typecheck, a lint and a lockfile, and all sixteen pass from a clean install — 452 tests. The mock mode replays a recorded run and labels itself in a banner.

Know before you install: there is no LICENSE file anywhere, so you may read this code and not reuse it. CI covers one of the twenty-one. The pre-commit demo sends every staged hunk, including the contents of a staged .env. The READMEs’ comparison lines against an LLM reviewer are computed from a hardcoded assumption and print on every run, including runs that call nothing.

Jev Tetris: a fair fight under a real deadline

Full review → · Hands-on (the whole 131-line proxy read line by line)

Two models play Tetris against each other on a shared seeded piece sequence, picking a column and rotation from the same option set, under the same clock. The honest detail: the model is asked the moment a piece spawns while gravity keeps pulling it down, and if it lands before the answer arrives it locks where it fell — so latency costs you the piece rather than being waited out. We do not republish its head-to-head results; those are the author’s measurements of other people’s models.

Know before you install: no licence file, so nobody can legally fork the fairness harness, which is the part most worth reusing. The proxy exists only because browsers cannot call api.typesafe.ai directly, and it forwards your own key — we checked, it writes nothing to disk.

BTC 5m Decision Lab: it refuses to place a real order

Full review → · Hands-on (we tried to start it in live mode)

A research tool for Polymarket’s BTC 5-minute markets: Jev scores the direction, separate code decides whether that is an edge worth taking, and a dashboard shows both — with the raw scores and the trading action displayed apart from each other. The safety claim is real and we tested it: TRADING_MODE=live throws during config validation, and the check is !== "paper", so any other value is refused rather than a blocklist of one. Demo mode runs entirely offline on synthetic prices and a mock model. The interesting engineering is when not to call — no model call in the last 30 seconds of a round, start-to-start scheduling, one request in flight, and a tick that never spills into the next round.

Know before you install: no licence file, on a repository about money. The README says its parameters have “no proven profitability” and that the demo “says nothing about strategy returns” — believe both.

tsai-sc: a paused game of StarCraft

Full review → · Hands-on, log recomputed

The 1998 shareware executable runs in an emulator; state comes from reading the emulated machine’s memory rather than from screenshots, and Jev picks among commands that code assembled. It published its whole decision log, and we recomputed the claims from it: every recorded choice is the argmax of its own probabilities and every executed action matches the selected candidate — nothing was substituted.

Know before you install: the game is paused while it thinks, for roughly half the wall clock, so this isn’t real-time play. And the README’s “a person must inspect the screen” step was, by the repository’s own review file, done by an AI.

jev-drone: advice at 3 Hz, safety in code at 50 Hz

Full review → · Hands-on, baseline only

A simulated quadrotor chasing a rover through pillars on camera alone. Code turns depth and segmentation into a small symbolic scene — sector distances, bearings, seconds since the rover was seen — and Jev answers three questions about it, advisory only, while a 50 Hz reflex layer owns safety. With an unusable key and no network it flew the whole episode on code alone.

Know before you install: requirements.txt pins a version of the SDK that doesn’t exist, which aborts setup.sh before it fetches the model. And the README’s no-Jev baseline didn’t reproduce for us: one seed crossed the barrier the README says the baseline never reaches. Both reported upstream.

jev-trader: market making on Monad

Full review → · Hands-on (dry run only)

Asks Jev whether the price will go up or down on every Monad block and posts a post-only limit order on that side. The README is an excellent short essay on fitting a model call into a hard latency budget, and it dry-runs by default. We never traded real funds, and nothing here is financial advice.

Know before you install: live mode has a position cap but no stop-loss, loss limit, or gas budget, it pays gas every block, and a failed decision can leave the previous order on the book at an old price.

JevPilot: Jev drives a car in the browser

Full review → · Hands-on

Justin Schroeder’s Three.js driving simulator samples candidate paths in code, filters out unsafe ones, and asks Jev to pick among the rest several times a second, with a safety brake underneath. A JSON panel shows every request and the probabilities that came back. The headless driving loop ran cleanly against the real API.

Know before you install: the code has no license, 11 of 47 tests failed at the latest commit, and the hosted demo’s early-access checkbox is pre-checked.

TypeSafe Mario: Jev plays Super Mario Bros.

Full review → · Code review

Turns emulator memory into compact, typed game state and asks Jev for the next controller input, keeping exact timing arithmetic in code. The offline state-demo command shows exactly what would be sent to TypeSafe, without a game file or an API call.

Know before you install: you need your own lawfully obtained game file, the repository has no license, and a failed Jev request ends the run.

jev_stock: a backtest that doesn’t leak

Full review → · Hands-on (a synthetic series with the future marked)

Forecasts Hong Kong share direction from a 30-session past-only state, with the target stock plus two indices and nothing else. We built a series whose every post-cutoff bar carried a marker value: none of it reached the state or the request. Financials are excluded from backtests because their publication dates are unknown, and the state says so in a field.

Know before you install: it is an experiment and its author says so. No licence file, and one request is about 18 KB of price history.

Jev Explained: the request, next to the answer

Full review → · Hands-on (the app against a stand-in, plus its proxy route)

An interactive explainer for the three primitives with four worked examples, showing the raw exchange beside the rendered answer. Its proxy route refused a request with no key and an unknown provider when we tried them, and forwards to one of two hardcoded endpoints, so it cannot be used as an open forwarder.

Know before you install: on the hosted demo your key travels to someone else’s deployment on every call and sits in localStorage meanwhile. Run it locally if the key matters.

Jev Browser (CodexQA): an index, not a screenshot

Full review → · Hands-on (headed Chromium under xvfb, canaries counted on the wire)

Indexes the page’s own controls — number, role, name, operations — and has the decision model pick one, so no pixels and no page dump leave the machine. observe and replay make no model call at all. Five canaries on a local login page: the visible email value went out three times and the evidence marker twice, while the type="password" value and a hidden input’s value went out zero times, with the password control still in the action space so it can be clicked and typed into.

Know before you install: auto needs an OpenAI-compatible planner as well as a decision model, and with only a Jev key set the refusal says “TYPESAFE_API_KEY (Jev) or OPENAI_API_KEY is required”, an “or” that does not exist in the code. Visible field values travel with the index, so a form somebody already filled in is part of the request.

Shapeshift: one box, fourteen questions

Full review → · Hands-on (its suite, its key guard at four values, and the request logged)

A single text box that becomes an event card, a checklist or a bill split, chosen by fourteen typed questions asked in one request. The request carries {"state": {"text": "<what you typed>"}} and nothing else — no history, no device data. Its key guard refuses a copied placeholder (your-key-here, sk-abc) and stays offline, where the offline classifier is a real rules engine rather than a stub.

Know before you install: bun run check is red on a fresh clone until next typegen runs, there is no redaction between the box and the model, and the client makes one 2.5-second attempt with no retries so a slow link falls back to the offline answer.

Jev Code Reviewer: one read, no writes

Full review → · Hands-on (a fake gh on PATH, stand-ins for both providers, canaries in the diff)

Reviews the pull requests your own agent opened, on your machine, and renders the cards through a browser extension. We instrumented the claim rather than reading it: across a whole analyze run it made exactly one GitHub call — api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/1 — attempted no write, and never asked GitHub for the diff, because the code under review comes from your local clone. A provider pre-check runs before any code is sent, and when our stand-in answered in the wrong shape it stopped with “nothing was analyzed”.

Know before you install: the changed line and other lines of the same file go to both TypeSafe and OpenAI — canaries in both appeared in both providers’ requests, while the PR title and body did not. Both endpoints are hardcoded constants, so pointing it at a gateway or a self-hosted server is a two-line patch. The extension is unpacked developer-mode only.

JevBench: the ruler other projects cite

Full review → · Its published artifacts recomputed, and its datasets hashed

When a project tells you it placed second of 76, this is the board it means. Every one of the ninety ranked systems’ scores recomputes exactly from its published axes, ranks follow scores, the README’s top five matches the artifact, and the three public dataset files match their SHA-256 in the manifest with the right item counts. It runs a sealed split of 308 items beside the public ones and penalises a system whose public-minus-sealed gap passes 25 points.

Know before you cite it: the chance level behind the Intelligence axis is not published, so that axis cannot be checked as shipped — solving for it, a single value of 0.319 reproduces 83 of 90 systems within half a point, and the seven that miss are rerankers and label-only systems the method treats differently. Every figure on the board, including those about commercial models, is Benchmark Heaven’s own measurement under its own protocol.

CLM: the artifact beats the headline

Full review → · Code read plus its published run recomputed (no GPU here for the 8B encoder)

An 8B contrastive decision model that embeds states and actions separately, served behind /v1/systemone with your own vLLM encoder. Its examples/t_rex/ benchmark ships per-seed records for both systems it compares, and ten of eleven summary aggregates recompute exactly from them.

Know before you install: the encoder is Qwen3-8B on a GPU, and states over 2,048 tokens are truncated at the embedder without a word. shield_interventions means the pilot’s own counter per seed and the sum of three counters in the summary — 364 against 4,883 in the same file. Read the records rather than the README: at a tenth of the latency it made three times as many decisions and agreed with the planner 0.658 against 0.987, and both systems finished with the same score. Those are the authors’ numbers.

jev-plays-pokemon-red	Game numbers turned into words; dialogue clipped to 180 characters	Nothing	A run log and, optionally, a recorded tape
typesafe-ai-playground	Whole files, never truncated, plus the file path	Nothing	Nothing; --cost prints a summary
n8n-nodes-typesafe	Only the state and questions the workflow author typed	Nothing	Your key, in n8n’s credential store
jev-gates	Your prompt, whole files, command lines, the absolute cwd, and 40 tool results	Nothing	A decision log, a cache and proof files, all unredacted
jev-repl	The state and questions you typed, plus a Node version and platform header	Nothing	Sketch files; the browser build can store your key if you ask
perch	Each method with its source, imports, module scope, and up to 8 callers and callees; whole files for file rules	Nothing at all — no telemetry	A scan log, probabilities per question, and one line of matched source
jev-align	Each row of your dataset, in full	Your reflection LLM provider gets the rows, your labels and your written rationales	Run state, labels, and GEPA artifacts containing the same rows
Jev X Sentiment	Fifty posts with their authors’ handles and full text, plus market figures	A third-party post scraper, and Kraken	Every post it has ever pulled, in a local database with no expiry
Hermes Jev Skills	By default your turn text, retrieved passages, and forty conversation turns per request	Nothing; an anonymous GET for a model catalogue	A decision log with tiers and latencies, not prompts

Common threads

A few patterns showed up across the projects:

• The careful clients converged on the same four precautions. Independently of each other, Jev Skills, the Skill Router and Jev DSH all refuse redirects so a 302 cannot carry the bearer token elsewhere, reject a key containing whitespace before building a request, keep the endpoint to an exact allow-list rather than a prefix test, and never put an upstream error body in a message. If you are writing a Jev client, start from those four.
• Guardrails differ most in what happens when the model is wrong. Jevvy lets the model approve, so its ceiling is the model’s judgement; jev-use and hermes-jev-approvals let it only tighten or escalate; lorenzini keeps the model out of the verdict entirely and uses it as a shadow detector. Read that part of any gate before the accuracy numbers.
• Keys end up in more places than you’d think. Most tools read TYPESAFE_API_KEY from the environment, some copy it into client configs, and coding agents launched by a tool can inherit its environment (Foreman now strips the Jev key, after our report). Use a dedicated key per tool and rotate it if a config file leaks.
• “Only the prompt” rarely means only the prompt. Diffs, tool inputs, page text, and the values in on-screen fields all show up in requests. Read the data section of each review before pointing a tool at private work.
• The best agents default to not acting. Foreman, typesafe-computer-use, and jev-trader all act without asking once you let them. The better projects start in a dry run, cap their steps, stop on low confidence, and fail toward a human. Look for those before giving any tool control.
• Licenses are uneven. Most projects here are MIT or Apache licensed, but TypeSafe Mario, JevPilot, Simple Jev, and openjev-sglang have no license at all, and NanoJev’s published weights and data don’t declare one.
• Almost everything is days old. All but one of these projects were created in the week Jev launched. Pin a commit, expect breaking changes, and check the issue tracker before relying on anything.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best way to use Jev in Claude Code?

To give Claude Code Jev as a tool it can call, start with typesafe-mcp: one binary and one setup command. To let Jev pick the model for each Claude Code turn, try jev-router. fast-jev-compaction replaces Claude Code's compaction summary but is early and needs care.

Are these tools official TypeSafe products?

No. All of them are community projects, including jev-ultrafast, which comes from the Browser Use team. TypeSafe publishes the official Python and JavaScript SDKs.

Do these tools send my code to TypeSafe?

Several do. Foreman sends your git diff and the coding agent's recent output, Jev Review sends the JavaScript and TypeScript it reviews, and fast-jev-compaction sends your conversation including tool inputs. jev-router sends only your latest prompt. See the data table in this article.

Can I get Jev-style decisions without sending data to TypeSafe?

Yes. SemIf, NanoJev, Jevlike, and openjev-sglang rebuild Jev's interface on open models you run yourself. openjev-sglang even accepts Jev's API format, so TypeSafe's SDK works against it. SemIf's command-line tool, NanoJev, and openjev-sglang need an NVIDIA GPU; Jevlike trains a small model on a laptop. None of them gives you Jev's calibrated confidence out of the box.

Why don't you publish accuracy or speed numbers for Jev?

We did not, until now: TypeSafe's customer agreement barred it, and that clause was removed in the 2026-09-19 revision. From here on we publish figures we measured ourselves, with the method and hardware stated. We still don't republish a project's own comparisons against Jev — those are the authors', measured on their machines. Reviews published before this change were written under the old rule.
