Interesting that Google are offering their own models in addition to models from other providers.
I think the agent/application and model layers will continue to separate. Especially for enterprise.

It's for data processing, privacy, and data retention. And not having to onboard a new vendor and data processor.

Thanks for sharing your findings!
We are working on running our own benchmark of Jev and some of the other models. Our use case is classification that runs in a UI. Currently LLMs have good accuracy, but are too slow (and expensive).
Jev not being available through a cloud provider (Bedrock or similar) makes it more challenging for us to start testing and rolling it out.

I think Amazon wants to protect their position as the go-to place for shopping.
The place where people start when they are looking to buy something. Amazon are able to capture value from that through seller fees and advertisement, and they had revenues of $20 billion from advertisement in Q2 2026. There was a recent discussion on this "Amazon tax"¹
If people initiate their shopping through their agent instead, the agent can search any merchant and find the preferred combination of product, price, and delivery. Amazon lose their position as starting point for shopping, and that puts their seller commission and advertisement revenue at risk.
Instead the agent providers will own, and could monetize, the demand.

Found this benchmark for Jev-class models: https://benchmarkheaven.com/jev-models
There are already many Jev-like models in there.
Edit: No affiliation. Just found it and thought others might find it interesting.
I think it makes sense for them to separate the application/productivity layer from the model layer. And offer models from many model providers, including OpenAI.
To stay competitive with Microsoft and other productivity suites.
