Jev tops Ramp's software dark horse list: enterprise adoption up 1 percentage point in a month
According to news from Bijie, Jev has topped Ramp's latest software procurement rankings, with enterprise adoption growing by about 1 percentage point within a month. The data comes from real transactions of more than 70,000 enterprises on the Ramp platform. Typesafe AI, powered by Jev, has reached the top of the "explosive growth" list and ranks second on the market share growth list, behind only Anthropic, with OpenAI in fourth place. Jev is an AI model specifically designed to help software make judgments. It does not generate chat responses and is only responsible for classification, selection, and scoring. It charges $0.042 per million input tokens, and output is free. Video generation platforms Runway and Higgsfield have also entered the top ten in market share growth, mainly used for advertising and social media marketing. Ara Kharazian, chief economist at Ramp, believes that cheap models may lower enterprises' AI invocation costs, but increasing demand for image and video generation could push up overall AI spending.
