Jev turns a catalogue ID from a prompt constraint into part of the decision domain

TypeSafe's Jev answers typed questions with floats and probabilities. An invoice pipeline that handed it classification and catalogue selection still needs a generative model for field extraction and for the note a human reads.

TypeSafe must meter 23.8 trillion input tokens to bill a million dollars for Jev

Jev charges $0.042 per million input tokens and nothing for output, so TypeSafe AI's revenue moves only with the state that agents pass in. Vercel, Cloudflare, LangChain and Langfuse listed it within a week.

Palmer Luckey's Erebor lent REGENT $60M of a $240M round that is half debt

Lenders price collateral and contracted cash rather than addressable markets, which makes the split the story here, because REGENT has $15M of contracted Marine Corps work sitting behind $120M of borrowing and a $9bn pre-order book that pays nobody yet.

A $1.05B valuation resting on one 256-GPU test and a breaker nobody has agreed to hand over
