The article compares seven open decision models with a generative large language model (LLM) in a hands‑on repository called Jev. It evaluates each model based on routing accuracy, latency, and output reliability. The comparison provides practical insights into how these models perform in real‑world scenarios.

Can TypeSafe's Jev Make AI Agents Safer Without Another LLM? explores how a decision-first model can catch risky tool calls before they turn into real-world actions. The article discusses the potential of Jev to enhance AI agent safety by preventing unsafe actions without relying on an additional large language model.

TypeSafe AI’s new model, Jev, is a ‘System One’ or decision model that takes text or semi‑structured data as input and outputs floating‑point probabilities for yes/no, choice, or score questions, rather than text. It charges only for input tokens ($0.042/million) and offers free output, making it cheaper and faster than typical LLMs. The API lets users build a state object (string, array, or key‑value pairs) and query it with multiple questions, receiving confidence scores and probability distributions for each answer.
The paper evaluates System One decision models—typed models that output probabilities for branching decisions—against supervised classifiers and generative language models on automated decision gate tasks. Eight checkpoints from six families, including the hosted model Jev, were benchmarked on workflow, intent, and social‑science items, showing that small trained classifiers match or slightly outperform decision models on intent and workflow when labels are available, while decision models outperform zero‑shot classifiers when labels are absent. The study also explores calibration, risk thresholds, and cost‑efficiency trade‑offs, providing condition‑dependent design guidelines for automated decision gates.
