the NEW ChatGPT. is it any good?


Jev is a new type of AI based on System 1 thinking.

wtf does that mean?

Daniel Kahneman coined this idea of System 1 and System 2 thinking.

basically, S1 makes decisions super fast; S2 thinks slowly about a problem.

think: difference between reacting after feeling your hand on a stove vs using mental maths to calculate 69 x 43.

since the end of 2024, AI models have been getting better (much, much better) at S2 "long and slow" thinking.

that left a gap for S1. until Jev.

that's what i dive into in episode 3 of Lenny's AI Builders (the LAB) + a bunch of other ai news you probs should know about (such as a big one for Claude!).
