Author here. Jeffy is currently a collection of simple classifiers that can do spam detection, intent routing, topic classification, sentiment analysis and even play Doom

Jeffy works locally on a regular computer, no GPU needed. It comes with 13 already-trained classifiers, and you can also use Jeffy to train your own classifiers

And there’s a lot that can be built on top of this style of architecture

Curious what tasks people find useful, and what architectures you are using for similar tasks

This is like creating a markov chain bot and naming it ChetGPT.
I setup a playground here: https://mode-wholesale-slideshow-right.trycloudflare.com

It's a small machine, so it might end up going down. It has some demos of the classifiers within Jeffy, including the Doom player

What the fuck is happening that people discover classifiers just now?
From my perspective. The huge success of LLMs have done two things: 1) shed a lot of light on the inner workings of models and methods, 2) via agents, made it possible for a lot more people to easily build and train their own models

That’s been true for the past 2-3 years, but more recently Typesafe launched Jev with a lot of visibility. This has created quite a bit of hype around the types of tasks that Jev can perform, many of which can be done by a classifier
