Using Gemma 3 12B with Jev
Jev is TypeSafe AI's System One model. It reads each request first and decides which model in your pool answers, with a calibrated confidence on that call. Gemma 3 12B does the answering when Jev sends it work, or when you name it yourself. Gemma 3 12B falls in the llm11-fast band, and the labs and limits it meets make it eligible for that pack. Packs keep a spread of eight models per band, and it is not one of the eight today, so it is only picked when you name it in a custom pool.
Jev is new, so we have not published results for Gemma 3 12B with and without it, and this page does not invent any. Every response comes with a receipt that names the model that answered and what it cost against your most expensive model, so you can measure the pairing on your own traffic.
What a request costs
List price arithmetic, the same sum a receipt does. llm11 adds nothing per request; the only fee is on buying credits.
