Highlights

  • 4.21B parameters with a 16,384-token context, Apache-2.0, fine-tuned from Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B-Base.
  • Card reports JevArena 63.6, statistically level with Decider 4B's 61.9 and 7.1 above Decision 1.0 Nox.
  • Jev Decision Index 43.8, up 9.4 from Decision 1.0 Nox; human-labelled transfer 52.3.
  • Median 12.9 ms per single-question request on a single GPU, with choice, yes/no and score in one forward pass.
  • Quickstart uses transformers 5.17 or newer with trust_remote_code=True and model.system_one(state=..., questions=...).

Quickstart

python
import json
from transformers import AutoModel

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("vllm-sr/Decision-2.0-Nox-4B", trust_remote_code=True)
result = model.system_one(
    state="The order arrived damaged yesterday. The customer has a receipt and asks for a replacement today.",
    questions={
        "route": {"type": "choice", "instructions": "Which team should handle this request?",
                  "criteria": {"returns": "Refunds, replacements and damaged deliveries", "billing": "Payments, invoices and charges"}},
        "receipt": {"type": "noul", "instructions": "Does the customer have a receipt?"}},
)
print(json.dumps(result["answers"], indent=2))

Watch out

Card reviewed 2026-10-17; the JevArena, Jev Decision Index, transfer and 12.9 ms figures are all self-reported by the vLLM Semantic Router team, and competitor rows come from a public board snapshot dated 2026-09-28. The card names no GPU behind the latency median.
