TypeSafe AI raises $870M at $7.5B valuation for non-text model Jev

TypeSafe AI, the startup behind the non-text AI model Jev, has raised $870 million at a valuation of $7.5 billion. The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Sequoia and existing investor DCVC.

Jev launched on September 15, 2026, and quickly gained traction among developers. TypeSafe says a third of Fortune 500 companies are already using the model.

Unlike large language models, Jev does not generate text. It is built on a transformer architecture and outputs probabilities, or what the company calls calibrated decisions. TypeSafe says the model runs faster and uses far fewer tokens than LLMs, positioning it for task automation rather than text or code generation.

TypeSafe was co-founded in 2024 by Diogo Almeida, a former OpenAI researcher; Sasha Sheng, a former Meta research engineer; and engineer-entrepreneur Erik Gafni.
