Summary
Vercel data shows Jev was used by 35% of paid teams within two weeks of launch, making it the platform's fastest-adopted AI model on that measure.
That uptake reflects Jev's narrow design: it chooses among pre-set outputs, letting it run cheaper and faster than broader models for high-volume classification work.
Vercel said Jev's reach was nearly double that of Sonnet 5.5 and has already replaced GPT-6 Luna in one internal safety-classification use case.
The gateway data is limited because major labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic also sell directly, but it still suggests the model's early buzz translated into real usage.
The same report found open-source models now handle more than 70% of tokens on Vercel's gateway and nearly 25% of spend, while frontier-lab spending has still grown tenfold.
