Me vs Guy Who Said Decision Models Louder

Jev taking off has been a pretty surreal full-circle moment

~2 years ago, we introduced Statement Tuning: train encoder models to produce decision probabilities as a lightweight alternative to generative LLMs for zero-shot classification tasks

Awesome to see a similar idea productized & taken this far

@CompleteSkeptic @typesafeai huge respect for what you’ve shipped. Would love to compare notes

@willdepue People have, it’s just the LLM hype has been stealing the limelight from cool ideas.

@patrickamadeus_ All we need is better beefier encoder models now @Google

@AlhamFikri A reviewer of this paper came up to me at ACL 2025 and said they didn’t see the point of this work.

Fair enough. Our main methodological error was presenting it as research instead of creating a startup.
