Course Outline

Transitioning from Text Generation to Typed Decisions

  • Understanding the nature of decision model outputs.
  • Contrasting System one decisions with reasoning LLMs.
  • Examining the cost and latency profiles of bounded decisions.

The Open-Weight Decision Model Ecosystem

  • Strands Decider 2B developed by AWS Labs.
  • The JEV and GEV open-weight model families.
  • Other notable models including Pplx-Decider, Liquid D1, and Clef.
  • Key differences in licensing and deployment strategies.

Architecture of a Decision Model

  • The LLM torso utilized without a standard language modelling head.
  • The pointer head mechanism for scoring candidate options.
  • The source and derivation of confidence scores.

Executing Your First Decisions

  • Setting up the model locally on CPUs or consumer-grade GPUs.
  • Structuring questions and defining option sets effectively.
  • Processing multiple questions in a single inference pass.
  • Configuring thresholds and managing fallback behavior.

Evaluating Decision Quality

  • Overview of JevBench and other decision-specific benchmarks.
  • Balancing accuracy against calibration.
  • Understanding the Brier score and the reliability of confidence levels.
  • Recognizing tasks where a decision model is an inappropriate solution.

Requirements

  • A basic understanding of large language models and prompt-based applications.
  • Proficiency with the command line and Python scripting.
  • No prior experience in machine learning training is necessary.

Target Audience

  • AI engineers assessing decision models for agent workflows.
  • Software developers looking to replace broad LLM calls with bounded, specific decisions.
  • Solution and platform architects designing agent-centric architectures.
  • Technical product managers evaluating decision model capabilities.
