Using Llama 3.2 3B Instruct 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. Llama 3.2 3B Instruct does the answering when Jev sends it work, or when you name it yourself. At list price Llama 3.2 3B Instruct falls in the llm11-fast band, but no pack routes to it because Meta is not one of the labs the packs draw from. You can still pin it: pass meta-llama/llama-3.2-3b-instruct as model and routing steps aside while verification still runs.
Jev is new, so we have not published results for Llama 3.2 3B Instruct 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.
