Jev from TypeSafe is a System One model. It returns typed decisions with probabilities and gives up free-form text generation. DSPy models Jev’s three decision shapes with the Noul (yes/no), Score (ordered levels), and Choice (pick from fixed options) types in dspy.experimental. The same signature runs on a JSON-capable LLM such as gemini-3.8-flash through Neosantara today and moves to Jev without changing the task definition.

Setup

pip install -U dspy

export NEOSANTARA_API_KEY="nsk_your_api_key_here"

NEOSANTARA_API_KEY=nsk_your_api_key_here

$env:NEOSANTARA_API_KEY="nsk_your_api_key_here"

Noul, Score, Choice, TypeSafe, and ReAnchor are experimental DSPy APIs and may change without warning.

How It Works

triage answers three closed questions in one request: escalate or not, how severe, and which team handles it. The model returns probabilities for each answer.
DSPy derives results from the probabilities. escalate.value is True when probability >= threshold. severity.level is selected by cuts. team.value is the option with the highest probability * weight.
Python decides the next step. Escalated tickets go straight to the agent queue with no generation tokens spent.
drafter runs only for tickets that can be answered automatically. muse-spark-1.3-contributor ( $0.1/$ 0.2 per 1M tokens) is a reasoning model, so give it enough max_tokens for both reasoning and the answer.

A threshold of 0.3 makes tickets escalate more readily. A weights value of 1.2 for pembayaran favors the payments team when the model is unsure, because a misrouted money ticket costs more.

Decision Types

Type	In the Example	Output	Parameter	Default
`Noul`	`escalate`	`.value` (bool), `.probability` P(True), `.confidence`	`threshold`	`0.5`
`Score[...]`	`severity`	`.value` (mean level index), `.level`, `.probabilities`	`cuts`	`[0.5, 1.5, ...]`
`Choice[...]`	`team`	`.value` (selected option), `.probabilities`	`weights`	All `1.0`

Every decision output needs a desc phrased as a question. DSPy rejects signatures without one before sending the request. Choice always picks an option, even when none fits. Add a separate Noul when code needs to reject tickets outside every option.

Division of Work

Work	Runs On	Use When
Escalation, severity, team routing	`Predict` with decision types on `gemini-3.8-flash` or Jev	The decision fits closed questions
Customer reply	`ChainOfThought` on `muse-spark-1.3-contributor`	Output is free-form text and language quality matters
Thresholds, queues, retries, side effects	Python	Behavior must be deterministic and auditable

Calibrate with ReAnchor

ReAnchor fits threshold, cuts, and weights to your metric. Probabilities for each example are computed once and cached. The settings search that follows sends no new requests. Instructions, descriptions, and demos stay unchanged.

from dspy.experimental import ReAnchor

def metric(example, pred, trace=None) -> float:
    score = 0.0
    if bool(pred.escalate) == example.escalate:
        score += 2.0 if example.escalate else 1.0
    if pred.severity.level == example.severity:
        score += 1.0
    if pred.team.value == example.team:
        score += 1.0
    return score

labeled = [
    dspy.Example(
        ticket="Saldo kepotong pas bayar QRIS tapi order masih menunggu pembayaran.",
        escalate=True, severity=2, team="pembayaran",
    ),
    dspy.Example(
        ticket="Kak, resi JNE saya kok belum update dari kemarin?",
        escalate=False, severity=1, team="pengiriman",
    ),
    dspy.Example(
        ticket="Kode OTP ga masuk-masuk, udah coba 3 kali.",
        escalate=False, severity=1, team="akun",
    ),
    # ... dozens of labeled examples from real tickets
]
labeled = [ex.with_inputs("ticket") for ex in labeled]
split = int(len(labeled) * 0.7)
trainset, valset = labeled[:split], labeled[split:]

optimizer = ReAnchor(metric)
tuned = optimizer.compile(triage, trainset=trainset, valset=valset)

print(tuned.fields)
print(optimizer.report["val_score_before"], optimizer.report["val_score"])
tuned.save("triage.json")

The metric above gives double credit to correctly detected escalations. A missed held-funds ticket costs more than an unnecessary escalation, so ReAnchor tends to lower the threshold. ReAnchor keeps a new setting only when it scores better and passes a fold check, which reduces the risk of overfitting to a small slice of the data.

Consideration	Detail
LLM probabilities	LLMs self-report probabilities, so calibration is weaker than on Jev, which is trained with RLCD
Format errors	A malformed JSON answer stops `compile`. Use a JSON-capable model such as `gemini-3.8-flash`
Cache	`compile` requires caching on the client. `dspy.LM` enables caching by default
Supported modules	`Predict` and modules holding `Predict`. `RLM` does not support decision outputs
Customer data	Tickets can contain phone numbers, emails, or bank account numbers. See Guardrails for UU PDP PII redaction

Switch to Jev

Jev is available on Neosantara as model ID jev. Point the TypeSafe client at the Neosantara base URL and use the same NEOSANTARA_API_KEY. The signature, calibrated settings, and Python code stay the same. Swap the client on the triage predictor.

pip install -U "dspy[typesafe]"

from dspy.experimental import TypeSafe

jev = TypeSafe(
    "jev",
    api_key=os.environ["NEOSANTARA_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.neosantara.xyz",
)
tuned.set_lm(jev)
tuned = ReAnchor(metric).compile(tuned, trainset=trainset, valset=valset)

Rerun ReAnchor after switching because Jev’s probability distribution differs from an LLM’s. drafter stays on muse-spark-1.3-contributor because Jev does not generate text.

Detail	Value
Model ID	`jev` (aliases `jev-latest`, `typesafe-ai/jev`)
Endpoints	`POST /v1/systemone` (TypeSafe format, used by `TypeSafe`) and `POST /v1/evaluate` (Vercel AI Gateway format)
Pricing	$0.042 per 1M input tokens. Output tokens are free
Context window	32k tokens
Tier	Not available on the Free tier
Environment configuration	`TYPESAFE_BASE_URL=https://api.neosantara.xyz` and `TYPESAFE_API_KEY=$NEOSANTARA_API_KEY`

Call the endpoint directly without DSPy:

curl https://api.neosantara.xyz/v1/systemone \
