Running jev-ultrafast's text-generation step through LLMTR
jev-ultrafast generates the text it types into a browser field through a separate OpenAI-compatible call. Read how to point TEXT_MODEL_BASE_URL at LLMTR, what the actual request looks like, and what to check before production.
What changes, and what does not
jev-ultrafast uses two distinct APIs, and they should not be conflated. TYPESAFE_API_KEY and TYPESAFE_MODEL belong to Jev's decision API (which operation, which target) and are unchanged by this integration. LLMTR covers only the four TEXT_MODEL variables, the step that generates the text typed into a field.
| Variable | Role | In this integration |
|---|---|---|
| TYPESAFE_API_KEY | Credential for Jev's decision API | Unchanged; issued by TypeSafe |
| TYPESAFE_MODEL | The Jev model version being called | Unchanged |
| TEXT_MODEL_API_KEY | Credential for the text-generation step | Replaced with your LLMTR API key |
| TEXT_MODEL_BASE_URL | Endpoint for the text-generation step | Set to https://llmtr.com/v1 |
| TEXT_MODEL | Model identifier called by the text-generation step | An LLMTR model identifier you choose from the catalog |
| TEXT_MODEL_REASONING | Whether reasoning is switched off on the text model | Set according to what your chosen model supports |
The actual request behind the text-generation step
The TYPE_TEXT step is a standard OpenAI-compatible chat completions request: response_format is sent as json_object, it carries one system and one user message, and the response is expected to be a JSON object with exactly one key, text. The example below shows the real system instruction from jev-ultrafast's source and the shape of the request against the LLMTR endpoint; the model identifier is a placeholder — replace it with one you have verified in your own catalog.
The user message is a JSON object carrying the goal, field information, visible page text and recent actions; page content is treated as untrusted data, and the instruction text says so explicitly.

}'Pointing TEXT_MODEL_* at LLMTR
The change is limited to four lines and does not touch the decision engine.
The lines that change in .env
# jev-ultrafast .env — TypeSafe values stay put, only TEXT_MODEL_* changes
TYPESAFE_API_KEY=your_typesafe_key
TYPESAFE_MODEL=jev-latest
TEXT_MODEL_API_KEY=llmtr-your_key
TEXT_MODEL_BASE_URL=https://llmtr.com/v1
TEXT_MODEL=llmtr-your-model
TEXT_MODEL_REASONING=noneModel choice: JSON mode and latency come first
For TEXT_MODEL, choose a model in your catalog that supports the json_object response format; on one that does not, this step fails. Latency matters too, because this call is made separately for every field that gets typed, and a single task can involve more than one TYPE_TEXT step, so the per-step latency adds up.
Do not carry over a model you picked for long reasoning or a wide context window: this step's only job is producing one short text value. Compare json-mode support and latency through the model catalog and pricing page, and decide with your own measurement.
The general pattern: not just for jev-ultrafast
This substitution is not a jev-ultrafast-specific trick. The same swap applies to any agent architecture that splits its decision into a structured choice API and its text generation into a separate, narrow LLM call: keep the decision engine and change only the base URL and model identifier of the text-generation step.
That separation also buys provider flexibility: you can change TEXT_MODEL across different providers in your catalog without touching the decision engine. LLMTR does not change a model's own price; the platform share is added separately, at 8%, only at credit top-up.
What to check before production
Check the data-handling policy of the model you choose: page text is sent to the model at this step, and even though the instruction marks it as untrusted data, which model you use on sensitive pages still matters.
jev-ultrafast's own code validates the response strictly: the JSON must carry only the text key, the value must not be empty, and it must not exceed 2,000 characters, or the field is left unfilled and an error is raised. Keep a similar validation in your own integration, and never write a model's free-form output straight into the browser.
This guide has not been tested end to end by LLMTR; it is based on jev-ultrafast's own environment-variable contract and the general OpenAI-compatible request shape. Verify it in your own environment before production.
Pointing jev-ultrafast's text-generation step at LLMTR
Five steps to point the OpenAI-compatible client that jev-ultrafast's TYPE_TEXT step calls at LLMTR.
- Create an LLMTR API key. Generate an API key in the LLMTR dashboard and store it as an environment variable. Leave TYPESAFE_API_KEY untouched; it is a separate credential for Jev's decision API.
- Change TEXT_MODEL_BASE_URL. In the .env file, set TEXT_MODEL_BASE_URL to https://llmtr.com/v1. This changes only which endpoint the TYPE_TEXT step calls.
- Update TEXT_MODEL_API_KEY. Set TEXT_MODEL_API_KEY to your LLMTR key. Do not put it in the repository or a shared file.
- Choose TEXT_MODEL from your catalog. Set TEXT_MODEL to a model identifier in your LLMTR catalog that supports the json_object response format. Verify the model with a separate request first.
- Verify with the local demo. Run the local demo with uv run jev, trigger a TYPE_TEXT step, and confirm the field gets filled and the request returns 200.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a TypeSafe/Jev account for this integration?
Yes. TYPESAFE_API_KEY is a separate requirement issued by TypeSafe; LLMTR only covers the text-generation step represented by the TEXT_MODEL variables.
Which LLMTR model should I choose?
Choose a low-latency model that supports the json_object response format; this step is called separately for every field being typed, so latency adds up. Filter the model catalog by capability and decide with your own measurement.
Did LLMTR test this integration end to end?
No. This article is a configuration guide based on jev-ultrafast's own environment-variable contract and OpenAI-compatible request shape; end-to-end verification should be done in your own environment.
Can a free LLMTR model be used for this step?
Yes, if a free row in your catalog supports JSON mode, but free rows are usually served under a request-counting quota, and TYPE_TEXT sends a separate request per field, so it can consume that quota quickly.
What happens if I pick a model that does not support response_format?
jev-ultrafast's text-generation step validates the response strictly: if the JSON cannot be parsed, or contains anything other than the single text key, the field is left unfilled and an error is raised. Choosing a model verified to support json_object avoids this.
