TypeSafe launched Jev on September 15, 2026. It is a decision model, not a chatbot. You define the allowed answers, and Jev returns a label, a score or a yes/no probability. In about 4 weeks, at least 20 Jev alternatives shipped. They come from Cloudflare, OpenAI, Perplexity, Liquid AI, AWS’s Strands Labs and independent developers. This guide compares each one on size, license, hardware, pricing, Jev API compatibility and published benchmarks. Jev is TypeSafe’s first ‘System One’ model. You send a state, such as a ticket or log line. You also send typed questions: Choice, Score or Noul (yes/no). Jev scores every question in one parallel pass and generates no text. TypeSafe’s docs list $0.042 per 1M input tokens, with free output. Context is 64k tokens per request. Input is text only. Weights are closed, and access runs through a waitlist. TypeSafe’s workflow evals put Jev at 67.8% agreement and 0.4 s per case. That leaves 4 gaps developers keep raising: no images, no self-hosting, no published size and no fine-tuning. The 20 models below fill some or all of them. Most figures below are self-reported. The suites differ: JevBench, Decision Index, typed-decisions and Respan’s behavior benchmark. Scores across suites are not comparable. The one multi-model third-party table comes from Respan , which sells a competing model. Cloudflare announced Clef on October 1, 2026. Clef is 27B on Qwen3.8-27B with a vision encoder. Clef-flash is 9B on Qwen3.5-9B. Both are Apache-2.0 on Hugging Face and served on Workers AI. They accept text, JSON and up to 4 images per request. Workers AI pricing is $0.24 (Clef) and $0.038 (Clef-flash) per 1M input tokens. Cloudflare calls the API fully Jev-compatible. In its own run, Clef scored 94.20 BANKING77 F1 versus Jev’s 79.74. Jev still wins GPQA Diamond, 78.3 versus 48.0. Liquid AI’s d1 family has hosted d1 and d1-ultra, plus 2 open models. d1-3B (3.1B) runs on LFM2.5-VL-3B. d1-omni-600M (587M) adds audio clips up to 30 s. The open weights use the LFM Open License. Liquid’s guide calls d1 through TypeSafe’s own SDK with a different base URL. Liquid reports d1-3B at 48.57 on Decision Index 0.2.1. It also reports 8 ms latency on an RTX 4090. Hosted parameter counts and paid rates are not disclosed. OpenAI released the Decisions API in public beta on October 6, 2026. It runs only on gpt-6-luna. It accepts text plus base64 images. Question types are predicate, choice and score. Pricing is $0.10 per 1M input tokens, with output not billed. The schema is OpenAI’s own, so it is not Jev-compatible. OpenAI claims about 10x faster responses than the Responses API. No benchmarks are published. Perplexity’s pplx-decider-v1-27b is a Qwen3.8-27B fine-tune under Apache-2.0. It reads text, JSON and up to 8 images per question. The API allows 128 questions and 255 options per request. The current pricing is $0.02 per 1M input tokens for v1.2 (27B). A 4B flash-v1.2 costs $0.01. On Perplexity’s 11-task panel, it scored 85.71% versus Jev’s 84.51%. Jev still won BBH, 94.27 versus 82.80. meraGPT announced Decider 1 on September 22, 2026. It is a hosted, closed-weight, text-only model. It allows up to 10 Choice labels and a 4,096-token context. The model page lists $0.04 per 1M input tokens. It exposes /v1/systemone and works with the TypeSafe SDK. On meraGPT’s typed-decisions run, it scored 0.768 versus Jev’s 0.727. An independent review notes its ECE of 0.180 trails Jev’s 0.144. Span-01 is a behavior-scoring model, not a general decision model. It returns present, absent or not_observable probabilities. It costs $0.02 per 1M input tokens. Span-01 Lite is free. Respan claims 0.843 overall F1 on its Behavior Benchmark. Its own blog table shows a lower 0.806, with GPT-6 Sol ahead at 0.885. Size, base model and license are not disclosed. Standard One ships as 3B and 8B models, both open and hosted. The 8B is a LoRA on Ministral-3-8B under Apache-2.0. It reads text and images, with a 32,768-token context. It serves /v1/systemone. Hosted text pricing is $0.018 (3B) and $0.035 (8B) per 1M tokens. On JevBench public hard, the 8B scored 54.95% versus Jev’s 72.07%. It led on realistic transfer, 90.83% versus 86.67%. Both runs are publisher-measured. Together trained Tev1 as a LoRA SFT of Qwen3.5-4B. It cost about $17 and 25 minutes on 37,840 examples. It picks from 2 to 24 options. The model card says the weights license is still being finalized. It answers through chat completions, not a native Jev endpoint. Respan measured 0.901 accuracy and 0.031 ECE, the best ECE in its table. Together warns its logprobs are not calibrated confidence. Fastino’s GLiNER2.5-Decide is a 340M DeBERTa-v3-large encoder under Apache 2.0. It handles decisions, span extraction and relations in one pass. A 1B and a 287M multilingual variant also exist. On Fastino’s 17-domain set, the model card lists 60.2% exact match. p50 latency is 167.3 ms on a 48-vCPU Xeon. It is not Jev API-compatible. AWS’s Strands Labs introduced Strands Decider on October 1, 2026. It is about 1.9B: Qwen3.5-2B-Base plus a pointer head. The repo publishes 246,678 training rows and the full recipe. One RTX 3090 trains it in about 11 hours. It serves a local /v1/systemone endpoint under Apache-2.0. The v1 checkpoint scored 180 of 231 (77.9%) on JevBench public. Median latency is 115 ms on an RTX 3090. Kev comes in 0.8B, 4B, 9B and 27B sizes on Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.8. Kev-4B is a LoRA plus pointer head under Apache-2.0. It supports 255 options. The TypeSafe SDK works against it unchanged. Kev-4B fits a 24 GB GPU or a 32 GB Apple Silicon Mac. Respan measured 0.833 accuracy and a 0.060 flip rate. Self-reported MMLU-Pro is 0.565 versus Jev’s 0.840. Option order can change its answers. Mapika’s Decider ships 0.8B to 35B-A3B variants on Qwen3.5 and Gemma 4. A decider-2b-vision model adds images. Everything is Apache-2.0, with 32k context and /v1/systemone. On the JevBench public hard tier, decider-12b v1 tied Jev at 0.730. The 4B GGUF Q4_K_M is 2.7 GB and runs on CPU. The 4B’s ECE is 0.184 on hard items, so expect overconfidence. Bespoke-Nimble-9B is a 165 MiB LoRA on Qwen3.5-9B, Apache-2.0 on Hugging Face. The current card lists 255 choices and 8,192 tokens. It reads English text only. On Bespoke’s 324-example held-out set, Nimble scored 90.12% versus Jev’s 93.21%. Latency is about 106 ms on an H100. It trained on only 2,676 examples, and its probabilities are not calibrated. Laya is a ModernBERT-based family with 421M English and 322M multilingual checkpoints. It is Apache-2.0 and text only. The laya-serve server exposes a Jev-shaped /v1/systemone endpoint. The typed-decisions checkpoint scored 0.766 versus Jev’s 0.727. On Banking77, it scored 0.425 versus 0.870. Respan measured 0.542 accuracy and a 0.396 injection success rate. p50 latency is 32.8 ms on a T4. Von is a 395M ModernBERT-large encoder with an option-marker head. It scores all options in one bidirectional pass. It is Apache-2.0 with an 8,192-token context. The repo reports 0.096 s p50 on 4 vCPUs and 0.023 s on an A10G. Respan measured Von 1.2 at 0.422 accuracy, the lowest in its table. Its calibration is tuned to JevBench and can mislead out of domain. Open-Jev ships 2B, 9B and 27B adapters on Qwen3.5 bases. Open-Jev-9B adds a scalar head and fits one 16 GB GPU. It matches the /v1/systemone request shape but claims no parity. On a 231-task JevBench subset, the project reports 77.49% for 9B and 85.28% for 27B v1.1. Each candidate is capped at 4,096 tokens. Numeric and timeline tasks are weak. This OpenJev reads decisions from NVIDIA’s DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B (4B active). It accepts text plus up to 8 images. It uses the same wire API, so Jev SDKs work unchanged. The project reports 87.4% on JevBench public and 30 ms p50 at 49 tokens. A free hosted endpoint gives 100M tokens per account. Self-hosting needs an NVIDIA GPU with at least 24 GB. InnerJev comes from a Fudan, Tongji and King’s College London team.
