This is a good product but the naming/branding is pretty unfortunate.

Typesafe.AI sounds like some typescript/structured output type of tool…

What even is “system one” ?

IMO the product/tech is really there, just needs better communication.

The model can't reason comprehensively (e.g., like Sol XHigh would to solve a complicated problem), but it's designed to be able to answer anything a human reasonably could quickly and intuitively, i.e., system one thinking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow

I had a different initial confusion - it seems this company has no relation to the company formerly known as Typesafe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akka.io

I definitely agree it's underexplained in type safe.ai's materials.

I have to assume it's a reference to the fast, heuristic, intuitive "system 1" process in humans, as opposed to the slow, procedural, reasoning "system 2".

This theory is recognized, among others, in Daniel Kahneman 2002 Nobel prize on Economics.

I mean, it's a structured output model that (apparently) can't hallucinate. I don't mind the name.
