His claim was that the title is misleading, not sure how it's relevant to that claim that you use "string models" (full LLMs).

The original title before it changed less than an hour ago was:

"Jev: New frontier model 40-400x cheaper and 20-200x faster"

I'm going to agree that was misleading.

And on the second point:

>>Also "can't hallucinate" seems wrong? Sure, it can't emit an invalid type, but it can still emit a completely wrong valid value.

>that is likely true of all ML! perhaps we could debate semantics, but I don't think it's fair to say a random forest "hallucinates" in the way LLMs do"

Also going to disagree here, and I don't think it's semantics.

Type safety is not factual correctness.

I very much agree with this and want to hone in on where do actually disagree. Would you say a linear classifier hallucinates?
