Model landscape
System One & Decision Models
A young class of models returns no text but a choice, a score or a probability that software processes directly. TypeSafe AI calls them "System One Models"; agi.jetzt uses the broader term decision models.
Last checked: 10 Oct 2026
What this class is
A decision model receives a state — a message, a record, the current state of an application — and questions whose possible answers are fixed in advance. It returns one of those answers together with probabilities. It writes no reply, no code and no explanation.
The answer is made for software: a program reads it, compares it with a threshold and acts, routes the case onward or hands it to a person.
- What is it optimized for?
- For one narrow thing: a fast answer from a fixed set of possibilities, together with a probability that software can process.
- How does it differ from a generalist?
- A generalist writes an open answer for a reader. A decision model picks among answers that were defined before the call, for a program. What differs is the interface, the form of the output, the intended use, and how much latency and calibration matter.
- What does it output?
- A choice among options, a yes/no probability, a score on a scale — each with probabilities. No text, no code, no explanation.
- Where is it useful?
- Wherever software has to decide many times and quickly: routing requests, checking the output of other models, approving or stopping a step of an agent, sorting large amounts of data.
Two terms, not the same thing
"System One Models" is a name TypeSafe AI introduced with its model Jev in September 2026. TypeSafe’s documentation defines them as "a class of AI models built to make fast, structured decisions that software can use directly" and takes the name from Daniel Kahneman’s "Thinking, Fast and Slow": System 1 is fast and intuitive, System 2 slower and more deliberate.
It is not an established industry taxonomy. Other providers describe the same kind of model as a "decision model" — Cloudflare, Liquid AI and H2O.ai use that term; Strands Labs writes "decision models or system one models"; Microsoft speaks of a "decision-scoring model" and OpenAI of a "Decisions API".
agi.jetzt therefore uses decision models as the name of the class and "System One Models" for what TypeSafe calls so. The class overlaps with older ones: Microsoft’s own model catalog files Microsoft-Decision-1 under text classification.

What is different from a general-purpose model
The difference lies in what the model returns and which interface it is built for.
- Context
- General-purpose model
- Text, code or media
The output is open: anything that can be written. Software has to parse and check it before it can act on it.
- State + typed question
- Specialized decision model
- Choice, score or probability
- Software action
The possible outputs are fixed before the call. The answer is one of them, with probabilities, and software can act on it directly.
Not: probabilistic versus not probabilisticGeneral-purpose language models are probabilistic too: they compute a probability for every possible next token. The distinction lies in four things: the interface the model is optimized for, the form of its output, its intended use, and how much latency and calibration matter — a generated text for a reader on one side, a probability over fixed answers for a program on the other. OpenAI’s Decisions API offers such answers and names gpt-6-luna as the model behind it.
Eight entries, in four groups
Jev is not the whole class. The groups say what kind of thing each entry is; nothing here is an order of merit.
TypeSafe’s "System One Models"
The name is TypeSafe’s own. Jev is TypeSafe’s first and so far only model under it.
- TypeSafe AI
Jev
- Purpose
- Answers predefined questions about a state with a choice, a level or a probability of yes.
- What is notable
- Generates no text. Every answer is a typed value with a probability distribution.
- Why it is here
- The model with which TypeSafe introduced the name "System One Models".
- Access
- TypeSafe's hosted API, at launch in early access with a waitlist; without a waitlist through OpenRouter and the Vercel AI Gateway. We found no published weights.

What decision models are described by
These models need other descriptive fields than a general-purpose model. They matter because the answer is consumed by a machine: there, response time and probabilities that can be trusted are requirements of their own.
- Output type
- A choice, a yes/no decision, a score, a ranking, a probability distribution or a structured object.
- Calibration
- Whether the stated probabilities match how often the model is right. See below.
- Latency
- How long one decision takes. In a chain of twenty decisions every tenth of a second adds up.
- Size
- Parameters and, for mixture-of-experts models, the parameters active per token — where published.
- Interface
- Whether the answer is read out deterministically or drawn at random, and what the confidence value means.
- Limits of the schema
- How many options, how many levels, how much context a request may carry.
- Benchmark coverage
- Which comparisons include the model — and whether a result belongs to the model alone or to a model plus harness.
These figures stand side by side. agi.jetzt does not combine them into one score. Higher accuracy does not mean more AGI, and lower latency does not mean more intelligence.

Calibration, in plain words
If a system says "80 per cent sure" across many comparable decisions, roughly 80 per cent of those decisions should actually be right. Then it is well calibrated. A model that says 95 per cent and is right in 70 per cent of cases is overconfident — and software that trusts its number will act where it should have asked.
Calibration is a property of many predictions together. It does not say that a single answer is correct.
Why it matters
- RoutingSend a case to the cheap path only when the model is sure enough.
- Autonomous agentsLet an agent continue on its own above a threshold and stop below it.
- Risk thresholdsDemand more certainty for a refund of 5,000 euros than for one of 5.
- Escalation to peopleHand the uncertain cases to a person instead of all of them or none.
- Decisions in softwareA probability can be compared, logged and tested. A sentence cannot.
What has been published
- TypeSafe states that Jev is trained for calibrated decisions, but publishes no calibration metric.
Sources: TypeSafe docs: System One
- Invergent reports for Rune, on its own measurements: at the default setting 73.9% accuracy at 86.4% mean confidence (calibration error 12.5%); read at a higher decision temperature, 2.2%.
Sources: Rune model card
- Strands Labs reports for Strands-Decider that answers at a confidence of 0.9 or more are right about 95% of the time.
Sources: strands-labs/strands-decider
- Microsoft states the aim for Microsoft-Decision-1 — a 90% prediction should be right about nine times out of ten — without a figure in the text of its post.
Sources: Microsoft Command Line
- An independent preprint on text annotation finds the tested decision model’s confidence better calibrated than the verbalized confidence of 16 of 19 language models, while three of them show a lower calibration error — and on one task high confidence at near-chance performance.
Sources: arXiv:2609.24574
- An independent audit of Jev measured, on questions that cannot be answered, a calibration error of 0.023 with an option to abstain and of 0.793 once that option was removed.
Sources: jujumilk3/jev-calibration-audit
agi.jetzt calls no model well calibrated. The figures above come from different tasks and different measurements and cannot be compared with one another.
What the comparisons show — and what they do not
There is no agreed benchmark for this class yet. Two comparisons are available, and both have limits.
Microsoft compared its own model with others on 36 benchmarks that its post does not name. It is a provider’s comparison of its own product. H2O.ai notes on its model card that the accuracy figures are Microsoft’s own, on benchmarks Microsoft chose.
JevBench is a leaderboard run by Benchmark Heaven, independently of TypeSafe, as a hobby project. Self-hosted systems answer 1,500 decisions, 1,200 of them sealed; a complete rerun of the sealed part requires the operator’s own evaluation process.
TypeSafe’s own evaluations measure Jev inside workflows the company built, against reference answers produced by two large language models rather than by people. TypeSafe itself writes that some bias could exist.
For these reasons this page shows no table of benchmark values. GPT-6 Sol, which appears in Microsoft’s comparison, is a generalist used there as a baseline for latency — not a decision model.

Why is this relevant to AGI?
Systems that act on their own have to decide all the time: which tool, which route, good enough or hand over. A model that answers such questions quickly and says how sure it is can be a building block for that — for routing, for gating a risky step, for scoring a result inside an agent system.
What makes it interesting for AGI research is the combination of structured decisions, stated uncertainty and automation between machines. A decision model is not closer to AGI than a generalist: it solves a narrower task.
What this does not prove about AGI
A fast decision with a stated probability is a narrow skill. It shows nothing about planning, learning or open reasoning, and a decision model is not closer to AGI than a generalist.
Relevance to AGI does not mean demonstrated progress toward AGI. These models are not part of the frontier models, and nothing on this page enters AGI Progress.
