IdeaLens-ModernBERT-L-NoParaphrase is an idea-level detector: it judges whose ideas a document contains, not who wrote its words, so a document whose ideas are a person's counts as human however much of its prose an AI wrote. It is one of the detectors released with IdeaLens and trained on the same data. The idealens package (PyPI) runs the whole pipeline: it assigns each document one of the eight formats, extracts the outline with the prompt, role vocabulary and worked examples the detectors were trained with, and scores it with this model and the thresholds in this repo. Input is JSONL with a text field per document. To score outlines you already have, use idealens score outlines.jsonl -o…

Runs On
What it takes to serve IdeaLens-ModernBERT-L (396M parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.
| Precision | Weights | Memory needed | Cheapest setup | Per hour | Also fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16-bit | 0.8 GB | 1.0 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |

$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Oct 6, 2026.

Questions About IdeaLens-ModernBERT-L
How much GPU memory does IdeaLens-ModernBERT-L need?
About 1 GB at 16-bit and 0.2 GB at 4-bit: the weights (396M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.
What is the cheapest GPU to run IdeaLens-ModernBERT-L on?
At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

ProseLens-ModernBERT-L is a prose-level detector: it reads the document itself and judges who wrote the words. It is the ModernBERT counterpart of ProseLens and the comparison point for the idea-level detectors. Score documents directly; no outline is needed. The idealens package (PyPI) applies this model and the thresholds in this repo: Input is JSONL with a text field per document. thresholds.json holds this model's cuts at 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 5% false-positive rates, fitted on the 80,000 human documents of WildOutlines' calibration split: one global cut per rate, plus per-format cuts. The package applies them. A cut fitted for one model does not transfer to another model's scores. For…

Dev is an open-source 399M parameter bidirectional decision model built on ModernBERT-large. It is purpose-built for unstructured-to-structured classification—including ticket routing, yes/no verification, and rating scales—executing in a single forward pass (~28ms on MPS) without token generation. Following Jev (TypeSafe) and Kev-0.5B (Jared Palmer), Dev tests a fundamental architectural question: What if decision models shouldn't be causal decoders at all, but native bidirectional cross-encoders? Evaluated against Jared Palmer's kev-0.5b (built on a frozen Qwen-2.5-0.5B causal backbone + 9.3M LoRA pointer head): Inference Latency: Dev-0.4B executes in 27.6ms on Apple Silicon MPS (M1 Max)…
Non-autoregressive System 1 decision model, fine-tuned on the typed-decisions workflows: agent-trace observability, customer service, invoice processing and security incidents. Part of the Laya family. 400 test cases, 2,000 decisions, measured on the official test split. +3.9 points over Jev's published 0.727, above the 0.735 teacher ceiling, with 2.4x better Brier and 1.6x better score MAE. Jev figures are third-party published, not measured here — there is no TypeSafe API access in this project, and sample sizes and prompts differ. Treat the comparison as indicative. Router will not select this checkpoint automatically unless you construct it with autotaskdetection=True — it is…
