摘要
In September 2026, TypeSafe announced Jev as the first model in its System One category: unstructured state goes in, and typed, calibrated decisions that software can use directly come out. Jev's architecture and training data are unpublished, but many open typed-decision models have followed, including Nimble, the Decision 1.0--3.0 family and Clef. They answer structured questions about a piece of text, such as a yes/no check, a choice among labelled options or a graded score, by reading the text with a language model and scoring the options with a small readout. Each pairs a different readout with a different backbone, training mix and recipe, so it is unclear which design choices matter. We re-implement five readouts and train all of them under one protocol: the same backbone, the same 15 public English training sources, the same recipe with a per-head learning-rate sweep, and the same seed. Our experiments demonstrate that: The complexity of the head does not affect accuracy: on Qwen3-0.6B every readout reaches 81.3--82.0\% in-domain accuracy, and a 0.5M-parameter cosine head, which scores each option by its cosine similarity to the question, matches the 27M-parameter joint schema head adapted from Clef in-domain at half its inference time. Reading all of a text's questions from one prompt also matches one prompt per question in accuracy, with 1.6 times faster inference and 2.1--2.5 times faster training on one H100. The backbone's size matters more than either choice: moving from Qwen3-0.6B to Qwen3-4B adds 4 points in-domain and 11 points on held-out sources, while the base, instruct and thinking checkpoints of the same model tie. We recommend spending effort on the backbone and keeping the head minimal.
