Re:Bender: AI's 'Existential' Risk Is 'Fake' [video] on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @10:21AM (#49993263)

Typesafe has been quite about the underlying technology behind Jev. Given the speed and cost my hypothesis is that it doesn’t input tokens the way that LLMs do, ie iterating over every word and drawing the connections between each. That is an o(n^2) problem which is why LLMs are so expensive as they scale.

Wow - Google does not even bother to show benchmarks of these models compared to the frontier and Chinese labs - only against previous versions. I'm not surprised. Having worked there for years it was amazing just how inwardly looking the company is.
