Jev 1.14 and Grok Voice 3.0 updates

Today's briefing covers two AI model updates: Jev 1.14 and Grok Voice 3.0.

Jev 1.14 and 1.13 multimodal support

Jev 1.14.0 adds image support, a new type, and longer context. Multimodal support has also been turned on for Jev 1.13.0. Both models perform worse on multimodality than on pure text. Breaking down questions into the simplest possible decompositions helps a lot. The new 'box' type returns a single bounding box and is a preview of TypeSafe's exploration.

Grok Voice 3.0

xAI announced Grok Voice 3.0, a speech-to-speech model. It features sub-second latency and improved customer-support performance.
