AI engineering teams and developers seeking to make fast, calibrated routing, classification, scoring, verification, and workflow decisions inside applications and agentic systems
About Microsoft-Decision-1
Microsoft-Decision-1 is a fast decision-scoring model built for structured outputs that software can immediately act on. It is designed for routing, classification, prioritization, verification, and workflow control across applications, agents, and automated systems. The model is post-trained from Qwen3.5-9B for single-pass decision scoring and, when given a fixed set of answer options, returns a calibrated probability for each one. It supports yes/no, multiple-choice, rating, and rubric-based grading of AI responses and agent actions through a structured API. Microsoft evaluated the model across 36 benchmarks covering routing, ranking, long context, multilingual and out-of-distribution tasks, reasoning, and safety, and reports that it achieved the highest accuracy in that comparison while also delivering very low latency. The model is also designed for robustness, with testing focused on keeping decisions stable when prompts are paraphrased.
