simple-jev is Featherless AI’s open stack that turns any compatible open LLM into a typed classifier via next-token logit extraction.
How it works
simple-jev reads decision probabilities from the next-token distribution:
- Format the decision question as a prompt
- Extract logits for each option token
- Convert to probabilities for
choice,score, ornoul
It does not require fine-tuning — any open LLM that follows instructions can be used as the backend.
Why it’s not a model
simple-jev is purely an inference-time technique:
- No model training or fine-tuning
- Works with any compatible open LLM
- The “decision” capabilities come from prompt engineering + logit extraction
Key features
- Model-agnostic: Use any open LLM as the backend
- Demo API: Try it at simple-jev.featherless.ai
- RFDT support: Integrates with the Featherless ecosystem
Caveats
- Probabilities are not calibrated
- Performance depends entirely on the base LLM
- Does not reproduce TypeSafe’s RLCD training method
