🧩 AI Models & Concepts Explained
New AI models and ideas show up every week. This page collects explainers on the ones worth knowing: what each one is, how it differs from the LLMs you already use, and where it fits in real testing and automation work.

Decision Models: Jev
LLMs like GPT and Claude generate text. Sometimes you don't need text, just a fast, structured decision. Jev is a decision-focused ("System 1") model that returns a choice, score and probability in milliseconds. It sits alongside LLMs rather than replacing them.
What is Jev? System 1 AI Explained
How Jev differs from traditional LLMs, what System 1 AI means, and why choice/score/probability outputs can be faster and more reliable. Includes a QA example: spotting flaky tests and using confidence scores to decide whether to retry.
Jev in Action: 5 Practical QA Use Cases
The hands-on follow-up: get access, configure the API key, then classify failed Playwright tests, use Jev as a guardrail, combine it with RAG, and call it through an API from Postman/Hoppscotch and from code.
🎯 Key Takeaways
- Not every AI task needs an LLM. Use LLMs for generation and reasoning, and decision-focused models for fast, structured decisions
- Structured outputs (choice, score, probability) are easier to automate on than free text
- Confidence scores let you act differently on sure and unsure results, such as retrying a possibly flaky test
