Highlights
- Takes a state of any text plus typed questions and returns a calibrated distribution over your supplied options.
- Never invents options: the distribution is defined only over the options passed in.
- Backbone is answerdotai/ModernBERT-base, frozen, with LoRA adapters of rank 16.
- Total parameters are 308.9M, with a jev variant using state and question encoders plus a paired cross-attention option scorer.
- Reported held-out JvD metrics: aegis2 0.449 and atbench500 0.525.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
It is an encoder-based typed decision engine. It takes a state (any text) and a set of typed questions and returns, for every question, one answer with a calibrated probability distribution over the supplied options.
The backbone is answerdotai/ModernBERT-base, kept frozen, with LoRA adapters of rank 16. The jev variant adds state and question encoders, a paired cross-attention option scorer and a separate noul head.
Total parameters are 308.9M. The release includes checkpoint_latest.pt, whose model_state holds the weights and a calibrated softmax temperature, plus config.json, the inference config consumed by Kieve.
No. The model card states the model never invents options and that the distribution is defined over the options you pass in. A separate noul head returns a probability for the yes/no noul primitive instead.
On held-out JvD the card reports aegis2 0.449 and atbench500 0.525. Decision Index 0.2.1 records decision_index 1.38 and raw 21.40 over 150,759 requests, marked complete.
The model is licensed Apache-2.0. The ModernBERT backbone is subject to its own license, which applies separately from the model's Apache-2.0 terms.
No. The Hugging Face page shows no Inference Provider deployment and invites users to ask for provider support, so the checkpoint and config are intended to be run through your own Kieve runtime.
