<p>Isn't the point of Jev that it generalises better?<p>It's a fast classifier you can use out-the-box, ~1.5bn tokens is about $40 (I've been hammering it)<p>It just works ... a whole bunch of low-level/low-importance workflow stuff that was getting farmed out to small/fast LLM models now has a competitive alternative ... and bits that hadn't even been considered to go into some external descision/classifier service can be tested/deployed at ~$0.00003/req<p>I don't get this wall of negativity on it, it's genuinely innovative/useful tech ... would expect HN to be more positive, regardless of whether it's the absolute best execution</p>

<p>I was a bit skeptical when read the initial pr on it, yesterday ran a test involving ~250M tokens, something we measure went from ~60% to >80% success (with almost no tuning) and at less than 50% cost the low-end LLM was running at, looking at it more seriously now ... the servers are US-only currently I understand and ZDR is by request</p>

<p>For the trivial cases that's fine (just using LLM does same)<p>But this particular project is not like a standard site and the CSS is in small fragments across 100s files and uses constants for some things like color values in places too<p>In that Loopple example you can see the conversion uses the Tailwind arbitrary value notation, the -[], so background-color:#afa8af gets converted to bg-[#afa8af], but I wanted nearest pure tailwind class bg-zinc-400, the agent seems to work out color distance fine so does all that in one-shot too</p>

<p>Last week stripped out all CSS from a fairly substantial project and replaced with Tailwind equivs, it got all but a few cases right<p>That was gemini-cli, I could see some mistakes on trial run so created a GEMINI.md with system prompt and project description (about 50 lines) which clarified some tricky source layout situations<p>Second run it was fine, ran for about an hour or so -- I had attempted to do it manually a while back but it started to look like it would take a week or two</p>
