This site is for researching, sharing and cataloguing Jev use cases. Your key is only there to make trying Jev convenient: it is stored encrypted, used only for runs you trigger, never used for anything else, and you can delete it anytime.

About this use case

Use Jev to pre-filter agent failures: incoming state, Jev decision, routed outcome

Who / when

Audience

  • RL and post-training teams reading rollouts for reward hacking and hallucinations
  • agent platform teams monitoring production traces for silent failures
  • eval engineers building failure-mode taxonomies over large trace sets

Triggers

  • each training run produces millions of trace tokens and nobody can read them all
  • a frontier-model judge over every rollout costs more than the run itself
  • failures like claiming success after a tool error slip past exact-match checks
  • you already have a failure taxonomy and need every trace tagged against it

Gate policy

≥ 0.90

Clear call. Traces with P(failure) < 0.15 are skipped; anything above goes to the precision model with Jev's mode as the first hypothesis.

0.60–0.90

Forward to the precision model anyway. Recall comes first; the second pass confirms the failure and its mode.

< 0.60

Forward and add to the manual-read sample. Mixed signals often mean a failure mode your taxonomy does not have yet.

Failure modes

Pre-launch checks before you trust auto-routing:

  • Using a 0.5 cut-off on P(failure); a first-pass filter needs a low threshold so recall stays high;
  • Dropping traces below the threshold without auditing a small random sample to measure missed failures;
  • Asking Jev to write the failure explanation; leave long-form reasoning to the precision model;
  • Feeding whole multi-hour traces; trim to the task, tool calls, tool results and final reply;
  • Freezing the taxonomy forever; low-confidence clusters are where new failure modes show up;
Keep exact work in code: trimming traces, the threshold value, sampling a random slice of skipped traces for audit, counting failures per mode per run, and the hand-off to the precision model stay deterministic. Jev only answers the meaning-level questions per trace (did it fail, how, how badly) with calibrated probabilities, so lowering the threshold trades a little extra second-pass cost for recall in a predictable way.

FAQ

Why use Jev as the first pass instead of a frontier model?

The first pass sees every trace, so cost per trace dominates. In the source thread Bryan Lee benchmarked several classifiers for tagging rollouts with failure modes and reported that Jev had the lowest cost and the best calibrated scores (Brier score and expected calibration error).

Why does calibration matter for a cascade?

With calibrated probabilities, a threshold means what it says: traces scored 0.15 fail about 15% of the time. That lets you pick a low threshold, predict how many traces the second model will see, and measure recall on an audit sample instead of guessing.

What does the second, high-precision stage do?

It reads only the flagged slice, confirms or rejects the failure, and can write the explanation. Jev's failure_mode answer is passed along as a starting hypothesis, not the final label.

Where does the failure-mode list come from?

Start with a taxonomy built from a sample of traces (the source thread uses a map-reduce taxonomy builder per training run), then put those modes into the choice question. Re-run the builder on low-confidence traces when new modes appear.

What does the Flatkey call look like?

POST https://router.flatkey.ai/api/alpha/decisions with Authorization: Bearer …, Content-Type: application/json, and a body of state, model (typesafe/jev-1.13), and questions (choice / score / noul). This is not an OpenAI-compatible /v1 chat endpoint.

Can I bring my own API key?

Yes. Try the free demo above without signing in. To run it live on your own text, sign in with Google and connect a Flatkey or OpenRouter key (a quick test call runs when you save it). Manage or delete it anytime under Dashboard → BYOK. Keys are stored encrypted on the server, used only for runs you trigger, and never sent back to the browser. Need a Flatkey key?
