# ChatGPT co-creator's startup launches new AI model 'Jev'

*2026-09-18 · Source: [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/18/a-new-kind-of-ai-model-from-a-chatgpt-inventor-is-thrilling-developers/)*

TechCrunch reports a startup founded by a ChatGPT inventor has launched a new AI model called Jev, which developers say offers a cheaper and faster approach to software-focused AI. Specific technical or pricing details were not included in the excerpt, but early developer reception is described as strong.

**Why it matters:** Alumni of OpenAI's founding team keep spinning out new model architectures, each a bet that today's dominant scaling approach isn't the only path to useful AI — worth watching whether Jev's efficiency claims hold up under independent benchmarking.

**Topics:** llms, products
