Jev introduces a new shape of LLM - System One, aka Decision Models

Simon Willison’s Weblog 3 weeks ago 35 ● 19 sources

TypeSafe AI introduced Jev, a System One (decision model) that takes text or structured state inputs and returns category scores, yes/no probabilities, ratings, and confidence values rather than text. Jev’s first model is priced at $0.042 per million input tokens, with output free. This shifts developers toward classification-style uses and makes large-scale experiments and evaluation more important because the responses provide numeric outputs without explaining underlying signals.

The current balance of power in open models

Interconnects 3 weeks ago 39 ● 2 sources

Open-weight AI models from Chinese companies have taken the lead over American open-weight models across downloads and public benchmarks, while influencing adoption in research and commercial use. Hugging Face downloads show China’s lead growing to about 1.6B additional downloads (about 3.2B total) after the ATOM Project began tracking in August 2025. The ecosystem responds with more US-based investment focused on open models and more cross-border enterprise agreements, since restricting access would mainly disadvantage American businesses.
