Context & Analysis

Jev's rapid adoption follows its September 15 release, and TypeSafe claims a third of Fortune 500 companies are already using it. The model is based on a transformer architecture but is not a large language model; it produces probabilities, which the company calls calibrated decisions. Co-founder Diogo Almeida, previously a researcher at OpenAI, told TechCrunch last month that while AI has been good at human language for four years, that is not useful for automation because computers speak a different language. The company was co-founded in 2024 by Almeida, former Meta research engineer Sasha Sheng, and engineer and entrepreneur Erik Gafni. The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Sequoia and existing investor DCVC.
