freeCodeCamp x Encode | AI - Jev Workshop

Wed, Oct 28, 6:00 PM

From freeCodeCamp London

# **Hands-on workshop on Jev: a "System One" decision model to give your AI agents a fast, cheap brain for making decisions safely, locally, and creatively!** **Registration to this event is only valid through the Luma platform:** [https://luma.com/w6i73bgm](https://luma.com/w6i73bgm?utm_source=meetup) Hello code campers! In today's world where incidents like OpenAI hacking HuggingFace and even government departments have been the talk of the town, the next question that comes to mind is, how can we make those AI systems we are building safe? There's the left side of the spectrum, don't use them at all or use deterministic algos, and there is the right side of the spectrum, use more AIs to guard those swarms. Somewhere in the middle there's this idea of limiting the number of actions an LLM can perform to a limited set (carefully crafted to avoid every unwanted scenario). This also comes with \~400x (e.g: Jev) improvement in speed, latency and cost compared to the frontier models offered by OpenAI/Anthropic. That's the story behind Jev ( from TypeSafe AI ), released 15 Sep 2026 out of stealth, by an ex-OpenAI dev, which definitely needs a closer look. So let's see and if it is worthy of the hype! Instead of generating text token by token like an LLM, Jev takes a "state" plus a set of multiple-choice questions defined in code, and returns typed decisions all in parallel. This has many practical use-cases in ticket routing, phishing detection, lead scoring, browsing, final boss in a game you're developing, LLM-as-a-judge eval, security guardrails, etc.. Jev is closed source, so in line with our **local-first** tradition we'll also look at the open-source alternatives popping up. Ollama now supports Jev-style decision models like nimble, `tev1`, Laya, the Ollaya runtime, and other projects like Cloudflare's Clef, Kev and Von. We'll run them locally and compare against the hosted API (with the downside of having no reasoning traces). Some community benchmarks say small local LLMs (like Qwen) are closer to Jev than the hype suggests. We'll go through the setup live, calling Jev via its API/OpenRouter, then running the open-source models on your own hardware. This will be our **9th** event and we hope we will be able to squeeze another one b4 the new year! You can install Ollama ahead of the event to save time and also, feel free to check the slides from all the prev events: [andysign.github.io/ai-london-01](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-01) , [andysign.github.io/ai-london-02](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-02) , [andysign.github.io/ai-london-03](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-03) , [andysign.github.io/ai-london-04](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-04) , [andysign.github.io/ai-london-05](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-05) , [andysign.github.io/ai-london-06](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-06) , [andysign.github.io/ai-london-07](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-07) , [andysign.github.io/ai-london-08](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-08) This workshop is open to **all levels**, from beginners to experts. Bring your laptop (make sure it's fully charged as local models tend to be power-hungry), and don't forget to bring your coding gear (hoodie). *** We are also delighted to announce that we are going to be accompanied by a guest speaker: [Lesia Tkacz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesiatkacz). She will give us a flash talk on how we can apply today's workshop creatively: Lesia: We’ve all generated sensible texts with language models, but if you're like me, you’ve probably messed around with plenty of funny and weird outputs too. Here is your chance to push further and reframe your model experimentation as a circuit-bending hack project. This talk is a flash ‘how-to’ and pep talk to challenge you to go to the very fringes of creative possibilities with bleeding-edge model technology and old-school ‘Lo-Fi AI’ methods to create your own generative literature pieces. I’ll take you on a fast-paced run through the strange world of Generative Literature, arm you with the top how-to tips based on my own research, and point the way to how you might apply all this to the latest AI models. Finally, the end of the talk will reveal my true agenda; to build you up towards submitting to the National Novel Generation Month (NaNoGenMo) challenge this November. This has been running on GitHub since 2013, and is a platform where beginners and seasoned programmers alike have shared both lofty and irreverent creative text generation projects which span 50,000 words or more. Lesia Tkacz has a background in sociotechnical AI topics and NLP, and focused her PhD research on understanding and developing human evaluations of creative generated text in the ‘pre-ChatGPT’ era. She’s also unusually obsessed with the history of AI & computing, the occult, and has several unfinished art pieces in the works. She currently labours as a Technical AI consultant. *** Agenda for the evening (Subject to change): 18:00 - 18:30 Arrival and networking Mingle with fellow developers over refreshments. 18:30 - 18:45 Introductions Intro and a bit of audience engagement 18:45 - 19:15 What is a decision model? Jev explained: System One vs System Two, benchmarks, pricing, and where it fits in an agent stack (and where it doesn't). 19:15 - 20:05 Workshop on Jev & open-source alternatives Hands-on technical workshop (if you are non-technical it's OK, tag along). We'll call Jev live via the API, then run nimble/tev1/Laya locally and compare decisions side by side. 20:05 - 20:15 Announcement (PSA) from one of our volunteers - Vlad S. is going to talk about his new project ( Vlad is a software engineer with 20+ y of exp delivering high-quality software for businesses, he developed a specific method for integrating local AI models into professional workflows, prioritising code quality, efficiency, & control ). 20:15 - 20:35 Guest speaker - Generative Literature and creative uses of Jev with Lesia Tkacz 20:35 - 20:50 Q&A and networking Questions from the workshop, open mingling. 20:50 - 21:00 Closing remarks END: Carry on the fun at a nearby pub which is right @ the corner. *** ## Event Venue As always we'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to **Encode Club**. [Encode Club](https://www.encodeclub.com)[ ](http://encode.club)has spent over five years fostering a global community of developers, researchers, and founders in Web3, AI, and emerging technologies.

🎃Лавенхем и ферма тыкв

From Adventure Hiking and Mountaineering

**✨***Жил-был человечек кривой на мосту.* *Прошел он однажды кривую версту.* *И вдруг на пути меж камней мостовой* *Нашел потускневший полтинник кривой…* Помните ли вы эти строки? 📜✨ Говорят, что прообразом кривого города в стихотворении «Скрюченный человек» стал некогда процветающий Лавенхем в графстве Саффолк 🇬🇧. Чтобы понять, откуда взялась такая ассоциация, нужно пройтись по улицам этого небольшого городка 🚶‍♂️🏡. Некоторые дома настолько кривые, что кажется, будто они «ищут» поддержку, опираясь друг на друга 🤪🏚️. Объяснение этому можно найти в истории города. В период расцвета Лавенхема в него стремились люди со всех окраин, а потому шла быстрая застройка поселения 🏃💨. Так сложилось, что качественного материала не хватало на все дома, вследствие чего здания возводили из того, что было: непросушенные бревна, кривые балки и прочий строительный мусор 🪵🔨. Со временем древесные породы сохли и деформировались так, что стены и крыши зданий стали кривыми, дома согнулись под неожиданными углами и стали своего рода «изюминкой» города 📐🤪. Отсюда и родилось другое название Лавенхема – «Кривая деревня» 🏘️✨. Сейчас в Лавенхем многие приезжают для того, чтобы почувствовать всю прелесть «старой» Англии и посетить музеи 🏺🎨. Кроме того, некоторых туристов привлекает сюда соколиная охота 🦅, а живописные улочки города знамениты тем, что попали в кадр серии «Гарри Поттер и Дары смерти» ⚡🎬🪄. Дальше нас ждет посещение фермы Pumpkin village, где мы сможем выбрать самую красивую тыкву и приобрести ее для себя! 🎃🌾 Что может быть лучше, чем устроить фотосессию в преддверии Хэллоуина на тыквенном поле? 📸👻 Перед тем как уехать, загляните в фермерский магазин, чтобы подобрать украшения и стать самым страшным домом на улице в эту ночь! 🕸️🕯️🧛‍♂️ 📝 План поездки: 📍 **08:45 Встреча** у **[Ibis London City Hotel](https://goo.gl/maps/ucQmtxqwjZs)**, 5 Commercial St, Shoreditch, E1 6BF (рядом с Aldgate East Station) 📍 11:00 — 13:30 Город Lavenham: церковь Святых Петра и Павла, [Little Hall](http://www.littlehall.org.uk/) ([£6](http://www.littlehall.org.uk/times.htm)), [Ратуша The Guildhall](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/lavenham-guildhall) ([от £ 5.50](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/lavenham-guildhall), бесплатно для [NT](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/join-and-get-involved)) 📍 15:00 — 17:00 Тыквенная ферма [Pumpkin village](http://pumpkinpickingvillage.co.uk/) ([от £3](https://www.pumpkinpickingvillage.co.uk/)) и сбор тыкв, [фермерский магазин](https://marshfarmshop.co.uk/) 📍 17:00 Отправление 📍 18:00 London, Aldgate East Station 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️ Аудиогид на русском ⚜️ Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️ Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️ Профессиональный водитель с наградой RoSPA Gold ⚜️ Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️ НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌ Не включено: ❌ Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌ Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌ Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌ Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌ [Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌ [Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌ Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒 Что взять с собой: ☑️ Воду/еду по желанию ☑️ Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️ Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение 🙂 ☑️ При необходимости не более одной ручной клади весом до 10 кг (40x30x20 см) ✳️ Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.

🟠🤫 Silent* & Mindful Hike: Devil's Punch Bowl via Temple of the four Winds

Sat, Oct 31, 8:41 AM

From Active Muslims 🟢🟡🔴

From Large Outdoors: Walking & Wild Swimming Adventures – London

Let's venture into the depths of the Devil’s Punch Bowl, ancient woodlands and fabulous panoramic views of the South Downs ... but this time ... ... in silence (12km / until Café), practicing mindfulness as a group. Focusing inwards and tuning into our breath, steps, sounds and surroundings, we let nature speak more clearly. Silent hiking helps us reduce stress, sharpen awareness, and feel connected, not only to the earth beneath us, but to each other, without needing words.
