Our summary
The release has two parts: Jev 1.14, with reported small improvements especially across languages, and experimental features behind Danger Zone flags. TypeSafe does not yet vouch for using images, boxes or longer inputs in production. It also acknowledges that its internal comparison is likely biased toward its own models.
Images can go wherever a question needs them, including supplied facts and answer choices, with either 1.13 or 1.14. Box needs 1.14 and returns a rectangle around a target. It always returns a box, even when the object you asked for is not in the image.
The docs suggest asking a separate yes/no question about presence before using Box. Longer inputs are less reliable, too; extra room is no reason to include everything. The announcement retains 1.13 with advance deprecation warning. Debug-query sharing is opt-in, and TypeSafe says shared queries will not be used for training.
Key takeaways
- A Danger Zone flag switches on an experiment, not a feature established as production-ready.
- Check for the object before using Box. A returned rectangle does not establish that the target was present.
- Pin the model for version stability, and do not confuse room for more context with more reliable answers.
