Episode 700: A New Co-Host, TypeSafe’s Jev, and Qwen3.8 at Home
Episode 700, and a reboot. Keith Townsend welcomes new co-host Calvin Hendryx-Parker, CTO and co-founder of Six Feet Up, pairing an infrastructure view and a development view on the same CTO problems. First up: Jev, TypeSafe AI's System One classifier that returns typed answers in milliseconds for a fraction of a language model's cost, and what it means to hand a closed-weight third party 200,000 rows of your data. Then Qwen3.8 running locally, and the open-weight classifiers chasing Jev. Next week: local versus cloud inference.
