Developers and AI engineering teams needing to make fast, confidence-calibrated routing, classification, scoring, guardrail, and tool-use decisions inside agentic workflows
About Strands Decider
Strands Decider is a small, fast decision model, or System One model, built for agentic AI workflows. Unlike an LLM that generates arbitrary text, it chooses between predefined options, answers yes-or-no questions, or rates inputs on an ordered scale. Each decision includes calibrated confidence, making it possible to send uncertain cases to a larger model or a human while handling routine decisions quickly. The first model in the family, strands-decider-2B, has 1.9 billion parameters and is based on a Qwen3.5-2B-Base torso with its language-modeling head replaced by a lightweight pointer head. It evaluates answers in one forward pass without text generation or a decoding loop. Supported decision types include choice, noul for probability-of-true questions, and score for ordered scales. The model is designed for tasks such as model routing, tool selection, tool-argument checking, request triage, grounding and safety guardrails, policy classification, and low-cost evaluation.
