Shipping Jev to real browser use fails almost immediately in production
A developer spent a day swapping Gemini 3.8 Flash/Lite for Jev on non-visual DOM execution and found real websites break it almost instantly, arguing the official demo is a curated sandbox and Jev's general reasoning isn't ready for browser use.
spent the whole day playing with @typesafeai jev. built some pretty wild demos that would easily farm engagement if i posted them right now. instead i tried actually shipping it to production. swapped out gemini 3.8 flash/lite for jev on non-visual DOM execution in matrix browser use and modified our harness. real websites break it almost instantly, it's general reasoning just isn’t ready for browser use yet. the @browser_use jev demo is super cool, but that page was basically an ai-tailored sandbox, not the real messy web. the timeline is increasingly optimized for cherry-picked shock value over real utility, which ends up misleading a lot of builders trying to ship actual products. jev is a great concept and an impressive model. genuinely looking forward to the open source weights and multimodal release.
