Jev's pricing math is absurd.
Ran the pricing math on Jev's $0.042 per million input tokens and free output against frontier model costs for 100,000 daily classification calls.
The original post
Jev's pricing math is absurd. TypeSafe charges $0.042 per million input tokens and output is free. Frontier models run $0.20 to $10 per million in, then roughly 5x on the way out. If your agent makes 100,000 classification calls a day, Jev is a rounding error. The alternative

Where this case fits
Filed under agents & workflows, classification & data extraction. In the pattern Jev is built for, the model answers a bounded question per step — and ordinary code acts on the answer, because the answer is already a value rather than a paragraph. Other posts in the same family are on the agents & workflows page.
