    Ask Jeeves - Only took us 30 years to come full circle.

    I'm surprised we haven't seen a "Jehovah" yet.

    Super dope. If it would ship as prod ready code supporting mps as well that would be even doper.

    But funny that jev is getting its lunch eaten apparently in under two weeks?

      It’s ok, one week of AI hype is now enough to close a billion-dollar term sheet with VCs.

    what about benchmark against smaller or bigger models? 9B looks too small for llm-level decisions.
  • swader999 36 minutes ago
    Seems like this is the way, a hybrid approach where some of the pipeline will be jev like and some traditional LLM depending on the nature of the work.

    See if it can beat Jev's Pokémon benchmark

    interesting bench list, what about benchmark against smaller or bigger models? 9B looks too huge for small like laya, and too small for llm-level decisions.

    Are there "good" Open source Decision models built on Gemma-4 and also trainiable on own data?
  • woadwarrior01 40 minutes ago
    This isn't really surprising. LLM reasoning and before that, chain of thought prompting are essentially forms of test-time compute scaling.

    Jeeves, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

      Personally I’m happy that after a 30 year effort and hundreds of billions spent, AskJeeves finally works as intended.

      If Jeeves returned as an AI chat bot it would be the most brilliant resurgence of nostalgia

        jeeves is currently the name of my local hosted assistant, in its context there are rules that tell it to behave like good old jeeves.

        soon I'll make sure that my home assistant pod answers to "Hey jeeves"

      We locked him in the basement with Clippy, Bob and BonziBuddy. Who opened the damn basement door???

    Just curious, where has this term 'noul' come from for yes/no ansers?

    /a bit more digging and..

    A Noul performs a Bernoulli trial—an experiment with exactly two outcomes (yes or no)—but instead of picking one, it returns the calibrated probability (ranging from 0.0 to 1.0) that the statement is true.

    I hate it :)

      I like it. It is short and distinct which is a good fit for a primitive. It describes its fundamental meaning and draws a connotation with Boolean.

      The whole "no hallucinations" premise is based on that.

      Like, yeah, you don't hallucinate, but only because you force the user to decide in the end.

      • doginasuit 18 minutes ago
        That seems like the only possible way to eliminate hallucination, short of a model that is never wrong.

        force the user to decide in the end

        And that's...bad?

        Wait til you hear about how digital circuits work at die level

      If you want to get super pedantic about what’s happening in a transistor every digital Boolean is actually this
      • kevindamm 59 minutes ago
        Not quite.. that boolean is about whether the voltage exceeds some threshold. It's not about how close the voltage is to the circuit's maximum possible threshold, or how much it exceeds the threshold.

        In an analog circuit, maybe.

    So "askjeeves" has been resurrected?
