* Self-hosted rows: the first value is the p50 we measured on our own hardware over loopback (on-GPU, or on-CPU where marked, no network). It is not directly comparable with API latency, which we time end to end from our measuring host, network included. “est.” is the est. incl. network (2x + 150 ms) that the ranking and the latency cap use for every self-hosted row. Model authors can ask us to time a hosted endpoint instead (on request).

Hosted API alternatives are ranked on the API leaderboard (Sage 1.3.0, Mercury Decide, wity-1, SPX-CD Flash, SPX-CD Pro, Fastino GLiNER-2.5-Decide): JevBench API leaderboard.

* Self-hosted rows: the first value is the p50 we measured on our own hardware over loopback (on-GPU, or on-CPU where marked, no network). It is not directly comparable with API latency, which we time end to end from our measuring host, network included. “est.” is the est. incl. network (2x + 150 ms) that the ranking and the latency cap use for every self-hosted row. Model authors can ask us to time a hosted endpoint instead (on request).

Frequently asked questions

What does JevBench compare?
JevBench v1.6.1 measures Jev-class decision models across Intelligence, Calibration, Speed and Cost. Capability is the mean of Intelligence and Calibration within the official cost and median-latency caps; Composite is secondary.
Which open-weight Jev alternative scores highest?
Quyet-1.0-Large (Chinh Nguyen, Gemma-4-31B decoder, option-letter logits) has the highest eligible Capability Score among open-weight Jev-class alternatives: 81.7, rank #1 on the JevBench open-weights board.
What counts as an open-weight alternative?
The published row must have public code or weights, a licence and a source link. Unknown evidence remains unclassified. Terms can differ between code, adapters and weights.
Are prices and latency directly measured?
Each row labels measured, estimated or self-reported announced pricing. Latency comes from the published benchmark conditions and may include a disclosed adjustment. Neither is a guarantee for a different workload.
