Rewriting a Jev demo with open-source SemIf to compare costs
The author reran the same demo using SemIf, an open-source version of Jev, and found it was still 50% cheaper than Jev, which is already very cheap, with a video comparison attached.

was curious how open weight alternatives compare to Jev, so rewrote this demo with SemIf instead (basically open source Jev) Jev is already insanely cheap, somehow this is still 50% cheaper
This post quotes another post: “Semantic search over 6,000+ YC startups with Jev returns in under a second”
