What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI found tis crazy, TypeSafe AI’s latest model, Jev1.14.0, is not open source. But now, Fovea-4B is here, with competitive performance and publicly available weights and code
Thank me later.
Code -> https://github.com/Sivasuthan9/fovea
Model -> https://huggingface.co/Sivasuthan/fovea-4b
In A Jev-style vision model is now OPEN SOURCELove Jev's typed decisions but stuck with text-only? Fovea-4B brings the Jev contract to images, open-weight and running on your own GPU.
Image + question → a calibrated probability for every option, in one pass. Jev-compatible /v1/systemone server, runs on a single 16 GB GPU.
80.6 on our 2,360-question held-out test, ahead of Imajev-4B (77.4) and the 8B Jev-Vision (75.7). Best calibration of Fovea-4B

In Jev-style decisions for IMAGES: Fovea-4B, open 4B, one forward pass
