TypeSafe AI, the developer of Jev, a new type of AI model that gained rapid popularity after launching just a few weeks ago, has raised $870 million at a $7.5 billion valuation. The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Sequoia and existing investor DCVC.
TypeSafe AI是Jev的开发商，这是一种在几周前发布后迅速走红的新型AI模型，该公司以75亿美元的估值筹集了8.7亿美元。本轮融资由Andreessen Horowitz领投，红杉资本（Sequoia）和现有投资者DCVC参投。
The massive fundraise comes as little surprise given Jev went viral almost instantly after its September 15 release. The startup claims that a third of Fortune 500 companies are already using the model, a remarkably swift adoption by enterprises.
鉴于Jev在9月15日发布后几乎立即走红，此次大规模融资并不令人意外。这家初创公司声称，三分之一的财富500强企业已经在使用该模型，企业采用的速度非常快。
Jev is based on a transformer architecture, but it is not a large language model (LLM). It doesn’t output text, but instead produces probabilities, or what the company calls “calibrated decisions.”
Jev基于Transformer架构，但它不是大语言模型（LLM）。它不输出文本，而是生成概率，即公司所称的“校准决策”。
What has users and large corporations so excited about Jev is TypeSafe’s claim that it works significantly faster and uses far fewer tokens than LLMs. The company positions its approach as uniquely suited for automating tasks rather than generating text or code.
用户和大型企业对Jev感到兴奋的原因是TypeSafe声称其运行速度明显快于LLM，且使用的Token数量要少得多。该公司将其方法定位为特别适合自动化任务，而不是生成文本或代码。
“We have been super good at human language for four years, but it’s not useful for automation because computers speak a different language,” TypeSafe co-founder Diogo Almeida told TechCrunch last month. Along with Almeida, who was previously a researcher at OpenAI, TypeSafe was co-founded in 2024 by former Meta research engineer Sasha Sheng and Erik Gafni, an engineer and entrepreneur.
“我们在人类语言方面已经做得非常出色四年了，但这对于自动化来说没有用，因为计算机说的是另一种语言，”TypeSafe联合创始人Diogo Almeida上个月告诉TechCrunch。除了曾任OpenAI研究员的Almeida外，TypeSafe还由前Meta研究工程师Sasha Sheng以及工程师兼企业家Erik Gafni于2024年共同创立。
