ModelsOpen-weight decision models: Plumb-4B (s1-fast) and Winnow-12B Q8 for text. s1-pro and s1-vision run on Surogate Rune 26B-A4B v3; Winnow-12B Q8 is the fallback for s1-pro (text). s1-vision has no fallback on the EU tier or on Peer-to-Peer without worldwide opt-in: if Rune is unavailable, requests get a retryable 503 model_unavailable. Peer-to-Peer keys with worldwide processing opt-in may be served by on-demand worldwide GPUs running the Gemma 4 12B image implementation when capacity is busy. Peer-to-Peer-tier requests may use Rune when spare capacity is available. s1-fast runs on a batched engine that processes concurrent requests together, so probabilities for identical requests can differ slightly.Proprietary Jev model family

The format

Keep questions structured

At launch, each request carries a state and up to three named text questions for s1-pro, or one for s1-fast and s1-vision, of type choice, yes/no or score. Answers include a selected value and, where supported, probabilities.

Request shape
{"state":"Mia owns a red bicycle.","questions":{"color":{"type":"choice","instructions":"Which color is the bicycle?","criteria":{"red":null,"blue":null}}}}

Comparison

What changes when you migrate?

The shared request shape matches TypeSafe’s published OpenAPI request and answer schema for the documented decision types (checked 28 September 2026); the surrounding service contract is Decision Models-specific.

SHARED FORMAT

What carries over

The state + questions structure and question types noul/choice/score match the published Jev schema; probability answers follow the same documented shape for single-question requests.

SEPARATE SERVICE

What differs

Up to three text questions for s1-pro; one for s1-fast and s1-vision; score rubrics need at least two levels (the published Jev schema also accepts one). Decision Models model IDs, bearer keys, the S1-Region tier header, idempotency behavior, billing and limits. Byte-for-byte compatibility is not claimed beyond the documented request shape.
