will depue @willdepue · 21h i've been surprised at the response to Jev, but it makes sense in retrospect. sure it's just a classifier but it's a zero shot classifier with frontier-ish intelligence. i'm surprised someone hadn't built it before. i wonder what other old ML ideas are also worth rescuing 97 replies, 87 reposts, 2.3K likes, 240K views Michel aka Agent B reposted Andrej Karpathy @karpathy I see it as a point on the LLM pareto optimal curve in a regime that had a large revealed latent demand (no thinking, single token, low latency acceptable intelligence) that was under-invested into because of a race to higher intelligence. 12:55 PM · Sep 21, 2026 · 201.4K Views 110 replies, 177 reposts, 2.8K likes, 608 bookmarks Relevant | View quotes Diogo Alme... @CompleteSke... · 17h I feel like that's a very pretraining-centric way of thinking about it - vs how do we trade-off intelligence for a use case (think about the conflict between RLHF and RLVR even in string land)
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Screenshot of an X thread: Will Depue on a model called Jev being a zero-shot classifier with frontier-ish intelligence, Karpathy's reply framing it as a point on the LLM Pareto curve in a no-thinking low-latency regime, and a further reply on trade-offs between RLHF and RLVR.
