Developer Advocate

About TypeSafe

TypeSafe AI is an AI lab building machine-native intelligence infrastructure for automation, designed to make decisions within software by combining the intelligence of LLMs with the efficiency and reliability of code into a new shape of AI: System One Models. Based in San Francisco, TypeSafe AI recently launched its first public model, Jev.

While others chase benchmarks and academic puzzles, we've been quietly rethinking the LLM stack from first principles - building a new kind of general frontier model designed for real-world reliability, decision-making, and autonomy in production.

We're a small, fast-moving team from OpenAI, Google Brain, and Meta/FAIR, backed by top-tier investors. Since mid-2024, we've been engineering the foundation for what comes after the current "state-of-the-art" - a model that actually gets things done.
