Why Did OpenAI Copy Jev?

Nikunj Handa says Jev inspired OpenAI's Decisions API and a wider slice of the market. Jev arrived, users asked OpenAI for something like it, and internal teams wanted a much faster classification system. OpenAI is not training a new model for the feature. Four weeks ago it was not on the plan.

An inference engineer picked the idea up and built a prototype that worked. The group is now trying to push the latency as low as possible, and Handa wants to launch in the coming days once they hit that latency target. He holds back some snappy Decisions API demos, including ones tied to Dots, because they are still ahead of what he wants to describe.
