Kahneman's whole thing: System 1 is fast, instinctive, automatic (catching a ball, knowing 2+2), System 2 is slow, deliberate, analytical (solving a math problem, reasoning step by step). JEV maps straight to System 1 for AI. skips the language fluff, no paragraphs, no reasoning chains. it just spits out the most likely decision/data in milliseconds. 20-200x faster, 40-400x cheaper. output tokens free. it doesn't "chat" with you, it just decides. regular LLMs (ChatGPT, Grok, Claude) are System 2…they think out loud, reason step by step, write essays. good for complex stuff but expensive and slow. so JEV being the "System 1 model" makes perfect sense. for things like trading signals, classification, routing decisions. you don't need a novel, you need the answer. and it pumping today shows the market's catching onto that narrative too.
