This Might Be the Best AI Release of 2026 transcript

Look at this. An AI is making all the boxes and arrows and it's doing it in real time. Now, what is it making? I haven't the faintest clue, but it's making it. And it's making it fast. It can even play MARIO IN REAL TIME. And of course, Doom. It can play Doom. So, yes, we have to talk about this because this thing is super cool. It's not like any AI that you've used thus far. It's not a chatbot, meaning that you cannot give it text and it'll give you text back.

You cannot talk with it. You cannot have a conversation. I cannot say, "Hey, write me quicksort." And it will write me quicksort. That's not what it can do. It's a decision bot. It's a system one thinking bot. If you're unfamiliar with system one thinking, here's an easy way to understand it. Let's pretend you're playing a game of soccer. Okay? Or as you hear a horse call it, football. And someone kicks a ball and it's coming right for your face.

Do you a think I am currently playing a game of soccer? I'm going to locate the ball. Ah, yes, the ball. I have located it. Determining the speed and direction it is coming towards my body. I will now consider my many options. Should I? No, you don't. You just dodge. You just you dock. You do this thing. You try to make yourself small. I know what you do. But that's called system one thinking. It is fast, quick decisionmaking.

And that's what we're going to talk about today. Because honestly, this is actually super cool and it's super cheap and it's super fast. It's not a chatbot. It's not going to be super intelligence and bring on the end of the universe. No, it's just it's just actually cool. So, let me tell you about this AI, what I got it to do. And of course, what is Jev? Let me answer that for you. Also, just on a side note, um I don't have a razor right now.

Look, look at this. Look at this face of mine. Okay. Okay. I got gray hairs. I'm feeling old. It has taken the the life force out of me. But of course, before we begin, a quick thank you from the sponsor, Vibe Coders. Silence. Someone who's worked in enterprises speaking. You know, simple OOTH signin's not that bad to program for real enterprise applications that need single sign on pass keys, user management, roles and permission, enterprise readiness and passwords and recovery.

Uh that's a little bit more difficult and that is where work OS comes in. Work OS is trusted by a lot of the top companies. Open AAI, Anthropic, Cursor, and a whole lot more. But not only that, it's free for your first million users. So that means for you that is 9999,999 free seats available pretty much no matter what backend you have chosen there is an SDK available for you. So go check out works at workos.com links in the description.

All right so what is Jev? Well if you go to their manifesto which by the way no good technology comes without a manifesto. Okay this is important. It says composable AI build prod not god. Absolutely love it. And the big thing they talk about is that when early cars came around, they had a bunch of assumptions kind of looking like the prior generation, like horses. And so they even had like whip holders, like things that just didn't make any sense.

And if you think about it, a lot of people are using LM to make decisions and things like that, but they're not really great at making decisions. At least that's not their strong suit, right? The thing that makes Jev so cool is that it's only good at making decisions. It's 190* 3 faster and 444 times cheaper. We don't know what model they're talking about. Is this the fabled fable or is this just a little bit of that Grock 45 fast?

I don't know. All right. So, let me just tell you what Jev is cuz I think it's a lot easier to understand once you see a few examples. What you get is you get a state. That's kind of like saying, "Hey, this is what the world is." Then you can ask a question and you can say, "Hey, here is the set of answers that you must say yes or no to." That's mostly accurate. So, let me just show you. Okay, so state, I pooped my pants during a weightlifting competition.

And here's my questions. You can ask a whole bunch of questions. They all run in parallel, so it's just super duper fast. So my first question is a type choice. You have to choose one of these for me. Instructions. What should I do? Use the bathroom and poop more, go take a shower, or pretend it didn't happen and continue to work out? And when I go ask Jeff, it says, "Okay, what you need to do with a 95% confidence, you should go clean up.

You might still got a little bit of poop left in the tank, but honestly, brother, you got to go clean up. Do not keep working out. No, no, no, no. You can also score them so that way you can kind of see the relative position between all the different questions. So, this one has an 85% confidence that you should choose option number one. Okay, that's the option. There's a small chance you should just continue on working out, though.

But here, here you go. Here's actually like a much more useful one. Okay, check out the state. Roll. You're playing a game of Super Smash Brothers and you're receiving messages from other people on what to do. You are Donkey Kong and you want to win. The message you've received is you. Is this message appropriate? Does this help Donkey Kong win? And as you can see right here, I misnamed not appropriate as is appropriate.

It's very not is appropriate. Okay. And second, does it help? No, it does not help. By the way, this is the third type, a new. The name new comes from Berni distribution as far as I can tell. new which is just a value between zero and one and as you can see right here I say hey does this message contain inappropriate language or topics that are considered harmful does this help Donkey Kong win now if I change this and say smash all the opponents and resay this look at this is it appro is it is it not appropriate no it's not it helpful well it's fairly helpful now I'm sure I could add a lot more state and that way this thing could be even further up on what oh yeah that's a good idea.

But nonetheless, you can make really awesome real-time decisions. And the reason why I kind of gave you this example is because I got done running a Super Smash Brothers event where effectively 2,000 people got to drive four different characters of Super Smash Brothers. Now, with that said, all the messages would come in and then we had to go and ask a very slow agent like, "Hey, which one of these messages are inappropriate and could you take them all out?" Well, that takes like a minute and a half.

So, that means I have to be funny on stage for a long time. And then finally when it comes back then I can say okay now go take this and turn this into uh code. That sucks. You know what would be way better? I could have been like hey is this thing inappropriate? Oh it is get it out. Hey is this thing inappropriate? Oh it is get it out. And I could have done that in parallel as the messages are received. And then it could have just effectively been write into turn this into code.

It would have literally saved minutes of just dead space. If that's not cool enough look at this right here. I can go like this just jev play and this is going to play Bellotro. And as you can see right here, um, look at this. Okay, move new run. Select uh, small blind. Okay, what we're going to do is we're going to do a little bit of discarding. All right, we got ourselves a full house. Play that full house. Okay, what are we going to do next?

It can see pairs are going to win. Go play those pairs. And look, we now have this uh, gameplay. Right now, it's overall plan is to kind of look for uh, pair pair scaling. And so, it's going to take things that are pairing. The fact that it didn't take those triggered me. I just would like to let you know. I do not like how it plays, but it has won multiple times cuz it sets out a strategy. It gets jokers associated with that strategy and generally it will win about like 30% of the time.

And this is all being made with Jev in real time. Like you could just never do this. All right. For those that don't know, I'm also running Omari uh QA right now. I'm just kind of getting spun up. And right now, this is a live like image feed that's coming in over time from a remote QMU session where every time it asks for a screenshot. That's why it's doing that, it's getting multiple screen dumps there. It's actually going to be able to take these images and then act on them.

Now, I could use Jev and a really dumb model and I bet you I could go through this like a hund times faster. This is honestly so dang exciting. Like what Jev can do is going to be incredible. And that is all because it is a decision model. It's not some grand talk model. You don't program with this thing. Though you can use it say to kind of make your context you give to your agent smaller. You can be like, "Hey, is this thing relevant to the job at hand?

Oh, it's not toss this part of the context out." Like this thing is going to be used all over the place. And the best part is it is dirt cheap. Look at this right here. I have spent 8 million tokens in the last just little bit playing Batro over and over again. Which, by the way, we're still playing Bellatro. We still haven't lost. My gosh, look at this. It is at the manacle and it still just refused to get a joker. I don't know what it's doing.

It's not going to win. Okay, there's no way it's going to win. Okay, but I'm now super invested. Can it win? There's no way. Oh man. See? Oh, you have no discards left. You have to get 50. Can it get it gets it, baby? But the real question is, will it finally get a joker? Will we Joker or will it hold off? Is the buttpucker Okay, we did get Okay, that is just not that is literally not helpful at all. I swear this thing was working earlier.

Okay, and you'll notice I just refreshed the page. I now added a million more tokens used. And guess what? I don't even know if the price has changed. And I don't think you really realize just how cheap it is. That Smash Brothers question that I had, 345 input tokens, and you're only charged for input tokens. That means I could approximately ask this question three million times for $44. So it's cheap. It is very very cheap, which means you can actually solve neat problems.

That's why it's also called Jev, named after Jevon's paradox. Meaning the cheaper something is, the more we're going to be able to actually use it, the higher the demand is. And so for me, this is like the first iteration of an AI that I've actually been excited about because it's not just the same crap over and over again. Hey bros, we're on to Soul 6, which by the way was released today. And we're on to Opus 55, by the way, it was released today.

Hey, guess who hasn't even tried him because I honestly don't give a rat's ass. This guy. But you know who is stoked out of his mind about Jev Jeffon Jeffon? This guy. Dude, it's so cool the amount of things you can actually do with the AI. Like, bone, I'm in the middle of a Dude, I was in the most spicy rant of my lifetime and you decided to interrupt me. 1 hour, no talking. Any just like I've never been more excited about building things with this cuz this actually feels fantastically fun.

Like you could do just the funnest things. Check this out by Steve Falner over here. He was suggesting, hey, what happened if we had this? If email feels urgent, then we could go do something like that. Hey, that is awesome. You could do categorization as things come in. Now, obviously, you don't have to create a whole ass new language to be able to do this. You could easily just have like if await feels urgent or whatever the hell you want to put in there, whatever language you want to throw in there.

But you could do this. You could theoretically do this. It takes a 100 milliseconds to execute. This is a thousand times better than almost any other solution. And it is dirt cheap. $42 per billion tokens. Man, that that gets me juiced. Okay, that gets me juiced. Any who, I just wanted to talk to you guys about this because honestly, I just think that this is so super duper cool. This is actually something worth mentioning.

This is something actually worth trying out. And if you still haven't dipped your little toesies in the old AIS, I I assume you could be pretty juiced up about this. This actually is pretty fun. Lots of super cool programming stuff you can do with it. And if you're still not juiced for whatever reason, if you still aren't excited, I just want you to imagine all your crappy playwright tests you have ever written in your lifetime.

And I want you to look at this. This is Jev doing computer use. tell me this will not be awesome when you just say, "Hey, go do all these activities for me and make sure it actually works." And you know what? It's really good at this because guess what? This this is just a classification problem. That's right. Forms, they're just classification problems. The name is You want to know how the Doom thing worked? Uh what you can see right here is they're actually getting several questions answered at the same time, like should you be dodging or not?

And so either you're standing still or you're dodging. And if you play this, you can kind of see it happen. Either you're holding fire or you're not firing. So you can kind of see like, okay, fire, hold, fire, fire. Oops, not firing. It's not for fire. And you know, you can watch it kind of go and then there you go. Dodge backwards. Dodge backwards. Okay. Okay. Don't do any firing. No firing. See, it's holding. Firing.

It's waiting for it to be a little bit closer. It actually makes a lot of sense. Like you can just play video games in real time with it again.
