jev-recall

What it is

Jev Recall gives you LLM re-ranker quality retreival at semantic search prices and speed

What the README says it does

• Keyword search works only if you already know what you're looking for.
• Semantic search works only if the memory that matters happens to look like the request.

From the project’s README.

Getting started

From the README:

uv sync                       # library + dev deps
uv sync --group bench         # baselines: fastembed, rank-bm25, anthropic, openai
cp .env.example .env          # TYPESAFE_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY

Where the decision sits

jev-recall calls the hosted decision API rather than running its own weights. That keeps the project small and means its behaviour moves whenever the vendor ships a new model version. It also means an API key and a network round trip sit in the path of every decision.

Models it references: Jev.
