Yes, businesses are solving specific problems, but most businesses have more than 1 problem to solve. No, it is not economical to pay a data scientist to develop a custom model for each of your tiny problems. It is often much more economical to use a general purpose solution, like an LLM, or now, Jev.
Are there enough "tiny problems" for businesses in the world to justify this sort of money?
The appeal and claim of LLMs for businesses is solving big problems.
LLM valuations to solve tiny problems seems iffy.

Are there significant problem domains LLMs are bad at that Jev is good at? Vs just 'Jev can do a subset of LLM things faster/cheaper'?
At this point there's no need to pay a data scientist. You can literally ask Claude to do everything for you: extract real examples, classify them, post-train a model, and ship an API.
Now, it could be viable if your business has literally hundreds of problems thats require classification. I just haven't seen those.
I treat the fact that almost noone was doing that as evidence that decision models aren't that useful/groundbreaking. That, and the fact that every single demo I saw was either fake (e.g. playing games), contrived, or plain wrong (e.g. using Jev for compaction).
No, we're not at the point where you could ask Claude to do all of that, unless you have a super easy problem to begin with and/or you don't care about output quality. Feel free to link a counter example.
