open-source react state-management developer-tools javascript library

Summary

Jared Palmer announces Kev, a new open-source React state management library, introduced via a blog post with links to the project and source code.

Kev is a family of four open-source decision models ranging from 0.8B to 27B parameters. It uses the same API as TypeSafe's Jev, so applications built with TypeSafe's SDK can switch just by changing the endpoint and model name. The model only scores supplied options and doesn't generate explanations or retrieve missing facts. The code, weights, and evaluation reports are available, but the full 27B training corpus and some evaluation data are private.
