# nicobrenner/jeffy

> Jeffy is a set of pretrained text classifiers built on logistic regression over the bge-large-en-v1.5 encoder, running on CPU. It lets you run ready-made classifiers (spam, sentiment, intents) and train your own on small datasets.

## Useful for

- Start a local HTTP server and classify text via /v1/predict
- Train a custom classifier on a CSV with text and label columns
- Detect customer intent in banking messages with banking77

## Why it’s here

- 7 stars today.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 9 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: Local pretrained classifiers, GPU not needed” — 8 points, 3 h ago.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @dorucioclea (312 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 1
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 4 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2

1. **Bornholm/indecis** — 0.6 · Steady · Language models · Go · +1 star today
   A Go library for training and running small decision models: a text encoder fine-tuned on your examples answers typed questions with calibrated probabilities instead of generated text.

3. **strands-labs/strands-decider** — 5.3 · Early signal · AI agents · Python · +63 stars today
   A small, fast decision model for agentic workflows: picks among options, answers yes/no, or rates on a scale, returning calibrated confidence. Faster than an LLM and requires no classifier training.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
