Decision-4B
An open-weight, Jev-like decision model from [Eval Engine](https://evalengine.ai), the AI arm of Chromia.
Give it a state, a question, and a list of options. It picks one option and returns a probability for each. It does not generate text, and it runs on your phone.

This repo holds a 65 MB LoRA adapter for `Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B`. A ready-to-run Q4KM GGUF (2.7 GB) for llama.cpp and Ollama is at `evalengine/decision-4b-gguf`.
Benchmark
Our held-out test: 2,800 cases across nine task families. Five are public datasets (CLINC150 intent, GoEmotions, PAWS paraphrase, VitaminC evidence, HelpSteer2 rubric) and four are synthetic rule workflows. Every model received the same state, question, and options through its own interface.

print(o["label"], o["key"], f"{p:.3f}")Input is a state, a question, and 2 to 24 options, each with a letter label, a semantic key, and a description. Yes/no and rubric scores are just options. One forward pass, no generated text: the answer is the option letter with the highest logit, and the probabilities are a softmax over the listed letters.
Training
One epoch of rank-8 LoRA on 74,308 examples from twelve public sources, starting from the original Qwen3.5-4B. Trained on an RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell. Loss is on the answer letter and EOS only.
Limitations
- English only so far.
- Weaker on response-quality grading and multi-rule policies. Not for unattended high-stakes decisions.
- Probabilities are scores over the options you list. Change the options, the distribution changes.
- Context limit is 2,048 tokens.
