DJent™
djent /ˈdʒɛnt/ - A heavy, precise guitar technique characterized by palm-muted, distorted power chords; in AI, deliberately constrained models that force precision and create powerful learning moments through intentional limitation.
Teaching Through Deliberate Weakness
Cost-effective AI coding API with three-tier routing. 75% cost reduction while building better developers through "training with weights on."
Three-Tier Intelligence with DJent™
Tier 1: Local (~$0.00 per request)
CodeLlama-7B, Phi-3-mini on Fly.io - Same machine, <2s latency, 8-16k context
For simple tasks and learning opportunities. Creates teaching moments through constrained responses.
Tier 2: GPU (~$0.01 per request)
Qwen-32B, DeepSeek-33B on Modal - GPU workers, <5s latency, 32k context
For medium complexity tasks requiring deeper reasoning and code generation.
Tier 3: Premium (~$0.05 per request)
Llama-70B, Mixtral on Together.ai - Large models, <8s latency, 128k+ context
For complex architectural decisions and advanced problem-solving.
"Training with Weights On" in DJent™
When a Tier 1 model produces suboptimal code, DJent™ detects it and turns it into a teaching moment.
🔴 Security Issues
- • SQL Injection
- • XSS Vulnerabilities
- • Hardcoded Secrets
🟡 Performance Issues
- • Nested Loops (O(n²))
- • Inefficient String Building
- • Missing Pagination
🔵 Best Practices
- • Long Functions
- • Magic Numbers
- • Missing Error Handling
