🤖 ChatGPT co-inventor ships AI model that can’t hallucinate 🤖
A new model class replaces text generation with preset selection, eliminating hallucination at far lower pricing.

ChatGPT co-inventor Diogo Almeida and his startup TypeSafe AI emerged from stealth with Jev, a foundation model they call a “System One Model.” Trained using a new algorithm called RLCD, Jev claims 20-200× faster results and 40-400× lower costs — just $42 per billion input tokens with free output. The key difference: Jev cannot hallucinate because it only selects among preset options rather than generating free-form text, making it “more like a database than a coworker.” Use cases include sorting requests, scoring records, and screening other AI outputs. The trade-off is clear — Jev is code-only with no natural language generation — but this could reshape how enterprises handle reliability-critical AI tasks. Now available in early access.

🎙️ Google ships Gemini 3.8 Live for real-time voice 🎙️
Google’s rollout of dual voice models targets developers building real-time audio experiences.

Google debuted Gemini 3.8 Live, a voice model capable of continuing to speak while it “thinks,” alongside Gemini 3.5 Transcribe for building real-time voice applications. The Extended Thinking variant topped AA’s speech-to-speech quality ranking, signaling a notable leap in voice AI quality. The dual release — a conversational model and a transcription tool — gives developers a full stack for voice-first applications, directly competing with OpenAI’s voice offerings. This adds serious competitive pressure in the real-time audio API space. Both models are now available to developers looking to build interactive voice experiences with enhanced recognition and live conversation capabilities.
