Using Jev as an input filter gate for a research agent
The author uses Jev, a System One model that only answers yes or no, as a gatekeeper to filter out irrelevant links and save tokens on expensive models.
too much ai noise every link feels important every thread feels like "alpha" my research agent was getting overwhelmed too many tokens spent on things that did not matter i needed a gatekeeper so i built a filter using JEV a system one model that does not think or summarize it just decides: yes or no the pizza test: > pepperoni pizza recipe: rejected > technical doc on agent architecture: approved do not let your most expensive model do the job of a simple filter use a fast, cheap decision layer to clean the input then let the researcher do the heavy lifting fewer tokens burned on things that never mattered
