TypeSafe's CEO tells the WSJ that a quarter of the Fortune 500 uses Jev
The Wall Street Journal ran a piece by Elias Schisgall on 2 October 2026 about Jev and the copycats that followed it. In it, TypeSafe CEO Diogo Almeida says Jev is in use by about 25% of Fortune 500 companies and that “we were at a trillion tokens per day about a week ago”. He called the traffic “non-fleeting” because servers, not people, make the calls. According to coverage of the piece (Techmeme, AI Weekly), the WSJ frames the story around copycats, chiefly Cloudflare’s open-weight Clef / Clef-flash, released on 1 October.

What changes here. Not the scores. Jev’s adoption number counts production use from public company posts and cases; a CEO’s tally is a vendor claim. It goes on the Jev page as context.
