What was misleading was the original title:
"Jev: New frontier model 40-400x cheaper and 20-200x faster"
I'm not the gatekeeper of who gets to call themselves a frontier model, but I don't think most people would count Jev in that group. It sounds false.
If their specific claims hold up, then it would make more sense to say something like:
"Advanced the speed/cost frontier for structured decisions"
Large language models are not the only type of model.
How is this not a frontier model? It's bleeding edge in its own niche. It's not a frontier LLM; however, applicable to many of the things people use LLMs for.

I dunno, I would consider Waymo and Tesla to have frontier models.
I think AlphaFold and related are also frontier models.
Being an LLM does not seem like the qualifier for frontier.
