▲Jeeves. Reasoning improves Jev-like decision models (github.com)
TN1ck 14 minutes ago [-]
I just did a run with a benchmark I just used to test other models against. (It's about detecting irony in german soccer tweets). On my M5 Pro with 48GB it took over 30min to decide on just 100 tweets, the thinking definitely takes long.

It performed quite below Jev, but above other open decision models I tested (68 correct vs 79 correct for Jev - see [1]). I'm running it for the moderation benchmark as well, but that will probably take a few hours on my machine.

What is the point of this, if it is p90 17 seconds? Might as well use an LLM. The beauty of Jev is that it is dirt cheap and insanely fast.

I would hold your horses to paint it as dirt cheap.. In my cases for spam detection Luna was 20% cheaper due to prompt caching, although not as fast.

Jev ought to offer a flex mode that uses their spare capacity for a discount.

Ask Jeeves - Only took us 30 years to come full circle.

My bots are all named Jeeves lol. I have a CLI tool I use that connects up to a LLM I made and I call it Jeeves too ...so funny. I really didn't use Jeeves all that much I tended to use...I think it was called Web crawler pre-google era

Super dope. If it would ship as prod ready code supporting mps as well that would be even doper.

But funny that jev is getting its lunch eaten apparently in under two weeks?

It’s ok, one week of AI hype is now enough to close a billion-dollar term sheet with VCs.

Seems like this is the way, a hybrid approach where some of the pipeline will be jev like and some traditional LLM depending on the nature of the work.

Are there "good" Open source Decision models built on Gemma-4 and also trainiable on own data?
Naitik88 1 hours ago [-]
what about benchmark against smaller or bigger models? 9B looks too small for llm-level decisions.

This isn't really surprising. LLM reasoning and before that, chain of thought prompting are essentially forms of test-time compute scaling.

Just curious, where has this term 'noul' come from for yes/no ansers?

/a bit more digging and..

A Noul performs a Bernoulli trial—an experiment with exactly two outcomes (yes or no)—but instead of picking one, it returns the calibrated probability (ranging from 0.0 to 1.0) that the statement is true.

I hate it :)

In Bayesian statistics that’s called credence. Weird that they felt the need to invent a new term.

I like it. It is short and distinct which is a good fit for a primitive. It describes its fundamental meaning and draws a connotation with Boolean.
k__ 1 hours ago [-]
The whole "no hallucinations" premise is based on that.

Like, yeah, you don't hallucinate, but only because you force the user to decide in the end.

force the user to decide in the end

And that's...bad?

doginasuit 1 hours ago [-]
That seems like the only possible way to eliminate hallucination, short of a model that is never wrong.

If you want to get super pedantic about what’s happening in a transistor every digital Boolean is actually this
kevindamm 2 hours ago [-]
Not quite.. that boolean is about whether the voltage exceeds some threshold. It's not about how close the voltage is to the circuit's maximum possible threshold, or how much it exceeds the threshold.

In an analog circuit, maybe.

interesting bench list, what about benchmark against smaller or bigger models? 9B looks too huge for small like laya, and too small for llm-level decisions.

See if it can beat Jev's Pokémon benchmark

what benchmark this one or it's just fun?

Jeeves, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

Personally I’m happy that after a 30 year effort and hundreds of billions spent, AskJeeves finally works as intended.

If Jeeves returned as an AI chat bot it would be the most brilliant resurgence of nostalgia

jeeves is currently the name of my local hosted assistant, in its context there are rules that tell it to behave like good old jeeves.

soon I'll make sure that my home assistant pod answers to "Hey jeeves"

We locked him in the basement with Clippy, Bob and BonziBuddy. Who opened the damn basement door???

Jev-like models give calibrated decision probabilities, but at low accuracy.

So why didn't they show both??

I'm surprised we haven't seen a "Jehovah" yet.

With the amount of talk about "inventing god", I'm surprised too.
