Distill Jev into a local model – with a disagreement bound

🧱 LLMs & InfrastructureOpen SourceY▲ 63 on HNLaunched September 26, 2026

Jevstiller distills a hosted Jev classifier into a local model, with a measured bound on how often the local model disagrees with Jev. It runs as a drop-in proxy, so batch jobs avoid a network call per answer while keeping answers close to Jev's. First shared by its maker on Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49891769

Overview

Who is it for?

Teams that classify large volumes of text with Jev and want lower latency and cost.

Problem

Every Jev answer is a network call to one vendor that takes about 300 ms, which adds up for batch jobs.

Solution

Train a local model on Jev's answers and serve it through a proxy, with a guarantee on the disagreement rate.

What makes it unique

The benchmarks report the local model answering like Jev 98% of the time, and the numbers can be rerun without an API key.

Jevstiller FAQ

How close are the local model's answers to Jev's?

The project reports agreement 98% of the time, with the benchmarks reproducible via bash experiments/bench.sh --no-record.

How do I use it?

Run the drop-in proxy; documentation covers deployment, operations, security and a Python API.
