# Jev for Python engineers

## Retrieval answer

Vercel has released an update to its AI SDK for Python with an experimental `evaluate()` API for Jev, its classifier model.

Vercel has released an update to its AI SDK for Python with an experimental `evaluate()` API for Jev, its classifier model. The official post says developers can pass a model, a state (a string or JSON), and questions such as a choice, score, or probability estimate; responses are structured around the types and choices defined by the caller. The illustrated setup uses `uv add ai` and an AI Gateway key.

The post presents Jev as suited to narrow classification decisions rather than open-ended text generation. Its author reports that Jev performed better than a hand-built classifier on a Python-versus-English REPL use case, but still misclassified a partially typed expression. A separate experiment built Python code by choosing AST nodes; the resulting code was syntactically valid but mostly incorrect. Vercel describes the API as experimental and says users should test whether Jev is accurate enough for their own use cases.
