A new model just came out of stealth claiming 440x cheaper and 193x faster than OpenAI and Anthropic for structured decisions, with output tokens priced at zero. The win isn’t a smarter model, it’s that it never writes words, so there’s nothing for your code to parse and nothing to hallucinate.

I sat down with my co-founder Jonathan on Type Safe’s new system one model, and why most AI calls inside your software never needed to write words in the first place. Jonathan’s hands-on test with early access, why open weight models just hit 78% of token volume on Vercel, what Cursor teaches you about building a moat against the frontier labs, and why you should not use this model for compaction.

If you’re an AI builder or a tech exec who is still writing code to parse, check and clean up what your model spits out, you need to watch this.

Hosted by Robert Ta and Jonathan McCoy, co-founders of Clarity, reporting from the front lines of building an AI company.
