aiqbench analysis

This piece covers a product category, "decision models" that return constrained outputs like labels, scores, or probabilities rather than free-form text, and a roughly four-week wave of alternatives to TypeSafe's Jev. The claim that at least 20 alternatives shipped is a count from one article, so readers should check it against primary sources and look at how each model is evaluated, not just how it is marketed. The useful question for practitioners is whether constrained-output models beat general LLMs on reliability, cost, and latency for classification-style tasks.
