alt Hacker NewsAm I hearing this right, that they made a decision model based on Typesafe's new paradigm, and actually made a model better than Jev based on Typesafe's own ranking?
And it's only been a few weeks.

They have to have decision models already in production. Part of their business is detecting bots, DDoSers and spammers.
It's not a "new paradigm", it's a low-hanging fruit that's been lying around for years; Typesafe were the first to bother to stop and pick it up, and market the shit out of it. But it was still a low-hanging fruit.
There are many, many of those left around, because AI frontier is moving forward so fast, everyone is racing ahead. Which is why I laugh when people say AI is not transformative and LLMs are a dead end (and my favorite, "what are we going to do with all those GPUs when the bubble pops?"). Even if SOTA LLMs hit a hard capability limit tomorrow and never advanced again, there's a good decade of growth and advancement to be extracted just from all the low-hanging fruits that were left unpicked along the way.
A lot of people claim to have made better than jev, there's a jev benchmark, I have tried many of those models and they eventually end up failing, a non trivial task which doesn't seem like much but reminds me of the svg pelican bench is games, have one of these decision/classifier models play a game, hook it up to the input, most of the ones that are supposedly on jev level end up playing a terrible game, showing that they are very narrow. Cloudflare doesn't compare to the top open bench alternatives, I just finished downloading it and will compare it to jev for non trivial tasks tonight.
