Are there many models that are comparable to Jev for generic decision making?
Smarter move if you have an eval set is to just train a classifier and call it a day.
The link rgbrgb posted is a good overview. The best open ones are close to Jev now, but they're big models. And I agree, if you have an eval set for a fixed task, a trained classifier is the better choice.
there's this thing with a bunch of similar models https://huggingface.co/spaces/multimodalart/jev-decision-ind...
top open one is trained by perplexity cto for $3k, kinda cool https://x.com/denisyarats/status/2102252088067850507
