The tool runs a small model trained on Jev’s responses on a CPU, answering requests locally when confident and forwarding the rest to Jev. The developer says a statistical confidence bound limits the disagreement budget. This assurance depends on calibration data reflecting real traffic; agreement with Jev is not proof of accuracy.
