Jev calculator:
cost & latency vs LLMs

Compare Jev and LLM costs for classification, routing, and scoring using your workload.

Jev input tokens ÷ baseline input tokens. Default 1.5× is a planning assumption; use 1× if counts match, or enter your measured ratio.

Estimated Jev input: 750 tokens/request. Formula: ceil(baseline input × factor). AY Automate reported 360/153 (≈2.35×) and 952/828 (≈1.15×) in two routing tasks. These are task-specific billed-input ratios, not universal tokenizer constants. Include instructions and criteria in your input budget; avoid counting them twice.

Assumptions: 30 days/month. Jev is priced at $0.042 per million input tokens with no metered output-token charge. Jev defaults to a 70–500ms per-call planning range from the TypeSafe launch report. Replace this range with your own measurements; it is not a measured p50/p95 or a guarantee. Network, workload and service load affect latency. Request durations are not summed into elapsed hours saved: concurrency and critical paths are not modeled. Baseline prices last verified 2026-09-22; verify them again before relying on a figure.

From the JevCalc blog / Case study 01

When is LLM fallback worth it?

We tested Jev, Gemini, and a confidence-gated cascade on BANKING77. The development data led our updated selector to choose Jev-only.

Jev vs traditional LLMs

A decision engine, not a smaller chatbot.

Jev trades free-form generation for typed answers, predictable structures, and low-latency decisions that software can consume directly.

Per-call latency reference (not P50)70–500ms · vendor-reported1,200ms · editable assumption

“0% type-error rate” describes schema validity, not perfect semantic accuracy. The 70–500ms Jev range is vendor-reported, not a measured percentile or a guarantee; the LLM value is a planning assumption. Benchmark comparable calls on your own workload.

Jev primitives cheat sheet

Three outputs. One shared state.

Ask multiple independent typed questions against the same context and evaluate them in parallel.

Frequently asked questions

What teams ask before switching.

How much does Jev cost?

The published rate used by this calculator is $0.042 per million input tokens, equivalent to $42 per billion input tokens. Output tokens are not separately metered.

Is Jev a replacement for GPT or Claude?

No. Jev returns bounded decisions and probabilities rather than free-form text. It is best used for classification, routing, scoring, and verification alongside a generative model.

What does zero percent hallucination mean for Jev?

It means Jev cannot produce a value outside the answer schema you define. It can still select a valid but incorrect option, so confidence thresholds and evaluation remain important.

Does this calculator send my workload data anywhere?

No. The MVP calculator runs entirely in your browser. Values are not submitted to JevCalc or TypeSafe AI.
