Highlights
- Evaluates Jev and five open models on 24 cognitive tasks.

S1CogBench is a benchmark that asks what System One decision models, also called typed decision models, can and cannot do on 24 cognitive tasks. It varies task demands and measures how behavior changes, giving a shared test of whether decisions respond to evidence, feedback, memory load, and future opportunities.
The benchmark evaluates five open models plus Jev. It is aimed at System One decision models such as Jev and Laya, which return one fast decision over the legal options rather than generating text.
S1CogBench covers 24 cognitive tasks. The authors keep task conditions and scoring separate from disclosed adaptations when running the evaluations.
The paper reports that decision models vary widely in reliability. It also notes that aggregate scores hide how decisions respond to conditions, so a single summary number can mask behavior changes across task settings.
No. The authors state that acting well does not imply predicting humans, which is one reason cognitive experiments are useful: they measure how behavior changes with task demands rather than only whether a task is completed.
The paper attributes the speed mainly to answering without generation. A typed decision model returns one decision over the legal options and leaves no text to inspect, so there is no generation step to run.
S1CogBench measures behavior on established cognitive experiments, not production routing or guardrail tasks. The authors caution that a fast, well-formed decision does not by itself show the model used the evidence, and that aggregate scores can hide condition-level responses.
