Learning project rebuilding a Jev-style decision model on a frozen Qwen3-0.6B backbone with a rank-16 LoRA, served alongside text generation from one weight set on Apple Silicon. Explicitly not production software.
Decision model on a Qwen3-0.6B backbone with LoRA: fused decision endpoint (/v1/systemone) + OpenAI-compatible chat completions with thinking, SSE streaming and vLLM-style sampling, running on Apple Silicon MPS.
MiniJev, minus the ceiling: a Jev-style decision model on a Qwen3-0.6B backbone (LoRA, rank 16), fused with a full OpenAI-compatible generation server — one set of weights, two capabilities, zero-copy LoRA switching. Built and benchmarked end-to-end on Apple Silicon (MPS).
Same MiniJev data and holdout protocol; reported accuracy rises from 58.8% into the high eighties.
One server exposes decision scoring plus OpenAI-style completions and chat, flipped by a zero-copy adapter flag.
Decision route is non-autoregressive candidate scoring with zero output tokens; generation flips adapter off.
Ships a 40MB pretrained adapter so you can serve and evaluate without the full training run.
Watch out
Educational synthetic-data model with real per-decision latency costs; the author forbids using it for real routing or triage without human oversight. Copy reviewed against the repository README on 2026-10-04, not from running it.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
They are the author's controlled comparison: identical data, splits, and hand-written holdout for both models, with full per-question rows shipped in results files. Note the two Instruct seeds disagree on 11 questions, so near ties are noise.
Each decision scores one full text path per candidate through a 0.6B backbone, measured near 1.4 seconds per case against 1.6 milliseconds for MiniJev. Quality versus speed is the stated engineering trade.
Yes. The fused server routes decisions with the adapter on and completions or chat with it off, serializing inference under a lock. A decision issued mid-stream returns bit-identical results with no state leakage.
Apple Silicon with the Metal backend; full fine-tuning fits but swaps under pressure, so the documented path is frozen-backbone LoRA. Backbone weights download from Hugging Face on first run.
No. A pretrained rank-16 adapter (about 40MB, seed 17) ships in the repository so you can serve and evaluate without training; the Qwen3-0.6B backbone downloads from Hugging Face on first run.
JevNext-Base scored 91.2% on the 102-question holdout against Instruct's 86.3% and 87.3% across two seeds, but a paired McNemar analysis puts them at p about 0.27, so the README calls the two backbones statistically indistinguishable for this task.
Synthetic and rule-generated, shared verbatim with MiniJev so results compare across projects; the holdout is hand-written, and the README warns that model behavior on real-world text is not guaranteed.
Python helper that turns judgment calls into one-liners like likely, classify and rate, defaulting to Jev while also running on local or OpenAI-compatible backends.
Self-hosted CPU-only server that speaks the /v1/systemone wire format for the KEV decision model, packaged as one container with ONNX Runtime and a health check.
Python CLI that audits files and package trees against plain-English JSON rule packs in one System One forward pass, locally with kev or remotely with Jev.
Self-hosted inference server for open Jev-like models behind POST /v1/systemone, starting with Clef-Flash on vLLM with micro-batching and Jev-compatible choice, score, and noul.
Jev-style local decision engine on DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B that reads one label-token slot per question in a single decoder pass to return distributions without generating text.
Jev takes text only; Clef-omni adds image, audio, and video input and Liquid d1 adds images, each keeping the same typed-answer shape. Where that matters, where it does not, and the costs the vendors underplay.
One model in September, a dozen by October. Clef, Liquid d1, Perplexity, and OpenAI all ship the same typed-answer shape now. How to read the rival benchmarks and pick on your own task.
