Pixel vs Jev

A dedicated model for coding judgement calls, scored on its own benchmark, JevBench.

Updated

Short answer

For a bounded coding decision, pixel classify asks a model you configure and returns one probability per label. With deepseek-v4.1-flash it answered all 14 public JevBench coding items right; Jev publishes 0.839 on its 56. The samples differ, so read it as a direction. The rest of Pixel needs no decision model.

Side by side

Published figures, different samples. Pixel's own measurement set beside Jev's published figure: not a head-to-head, and the samples differ.

Where Jev wins

Its score covers all 56 of its coding items, where Pixel's run covers only the 14 public ones.

How they differ

Jev is a model built for one job: settling a coding question with a bounded set of answers. pixel classify puts the same kind of question to a model you configure (OpenRouter, Ollama Cloud or a local server) and returns one probability per label. It is an optional add-on: nothing else in Pixel calls a model.

Choosing

Pick Jev for a dedicated model scored on its whole benchmark. Pick pixel classify to keep the choice of model, the bill and the data path in your hands, next to an index your agent already queries.
