Within 24 hours of its debut on September 15, TypeSafe’s Jev, an AI model that helps developers get faster, cheaper results when using LLMs, became the fastest-adopted model in Vercel’s AI Gateway history. Within a few weeks, there were knock-offs all over GitHub.
Yesterday, OpenAI made its Decisions API generally available. It’s a direct Jev competitor that lets software make quick choices, such as classifying a document, routing a customer request, or choosing the next action in an automated workflow.
OpenAI says its offering makes decisions up to ten times faster than using the same underlying model through its general-purpose service. That comparison is with OpenAI’s own product. Customers quoted in the announcement include Box, Datadog, Ramp, Sierra, and Speak. Speak says its testing reduced the time to the next action in its language-learning application from 1.4 seconds to 0.13 seconds.
OpenAI charges $0.10 per million input tokens, with no output-token charge. Cached input has separate pricing. The service supports text and images, with regional processing available in the United States and European Union.
For years, one of the most important questions for any new product or service has been, “Are you creating a feature or creating a business?” If you don’t have a clear answer to that question, and you invest in an AI startup (or any startup for that matter), you are bearish on AGI.
Every company needs a Claw strategy. Do you have one?
