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

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.
