Jevish: Like Jev, but local-first.

"jevish behaves like TypeSafe's Jev model: single-pass semantic pattern matching, calibrated confidence logits, and zero prompt engineering. But it is not fully Jev—it is designed to run 100% in local CPU cache (<0.05ms, zero dependencies, offline). And when you need 99–100% frontier accuracy, it can make use of Jev when needed via speculative cascade."
