Jev-Style-Qwen3.5-2B-Decision-v2-MLX-bf16

Website: jevstyle.com — all JevStyle decision models, benchmarks and quickstart in one place.

A Jev-style decision model for classification, routing and typed choices. Give it a state, a question and a list of options; one prefill returns a selected option with calibrated probabilities.

Download this build: model.safetensors. The repository also includes its calibration, inference client and evaluation records.

Results

81.20% macro accuracy on the fixed English reference panel, compared with 76.68% for v1 and 75.09% for English Laya. The results below use the CUDA reference structure: 11 real-label task groups, 3,277 decisions, equal task weights, and the same 3,100-record calibration split. Results for the released deployment formats appear further below.

• Higher accuracy: +4.53 percentage points over v1 and +6.12 over English Laya; paired 95% intervals are [+3.58, +5.52] and [+4.64, +7.52] points, respectively, within this fixed panel.
• Broader task coverage: accuracy point estimates ahead of English Laya in 9 of 12 task groups, including the separately scored teacher-reference typed-decisions group.
• Better probability quality against English Laya: 18.4% lower NLL, 20.0% lower Brier score, and 26.4% lower task-macro ECE.
• Efficient adaptation: 36.9 minutes of main training on one H100 80GB, using rank-32 LoRA on a 2B-class text backbone.

Calibration

The reliability diagram plots the v2 model's stated confidence against observed correctness. Every real-label evaluation decision is included; the histogram shows how many predictions fall in each confidence bin. Error bars show Wilson 95% intervals. The accompanying ECE comparison averages per-task calibration errors.

Temperature is fitted on the calibration split. HF and MLX clients apply the supplied calibration automatically; the calibrated GGUF file incorporates it in the final normalization tensor.

Robustness

Option-order flip rate is halved relative to English Laya, with 80.00% accuracy after permutation on the same 400 Choice/Bool decisions. Semantic options are mapped back to their original identities before scoring.

On a separate 200-pair programmatic threshold-policy test, both decisions in a counterfactual pair are correct in 71.50% of pairs for v2, compared with 63.00% for v1. This test measures that specific rule family.

Task-level results

Deployment validation

GGUF is available in Q4_K_M, Q8_0 and BF16, each with its own calibration and verification record.

Each deployment format has its own validation record. Native MLX packaging reproduces the verified MLX client's logits exactly on all 500 deployment cases. The Q8_0 model is approximately 46.7% smaller than the BF16 GGUF export.

On the same 500-case deployment subset, real-label task-macro accuracy is 79.10% for CUDA BF16, 79.04% for MLX BF16 and 78.69% for Q8_0. Full-panel reference results and deployment-subset results use their respective denominators.

Quick start

python -m pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download chaoliangUNSW/Jev-Style-Qwen3.5-2B-Decision-v2-MLX-bf16 --local-dir jev-v2-mlx
cd jev-v2-mlx
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python jev_mlx_client.py --model . \
  --state "The film was excellent." \
  --question "What is the sentiment of this review?" \
  --options negative positive

from jev_mlx_client import Client

model = Client(".")
result = model.decide(
    "The film was excellent.",
    "What is the sentiment of this review?",
    ["negative", "positive"],
)
print(result["choice"])
print(result["probabilities"])

Validated with mlx==0.32.2 and mlx-lm==0.31.3. The companion calibration.json is loaded automatically. The reference benchmark and MLX deployment check are reported separately above and in the evaluation files.

Decision interface

Provide an English state, a question, and 2–26 unique options, within a 1,024-token prompt. A single prefill produces one logit per declared option. Apply the supplied calibration once and normalize over those options to obtain the decision probabilities.

You are a decision function. Read the state, then answer the question by choosing exactly one option.

[State]
The film was excellent.

[Question]
What is the sentiment of this review?

[Options]
A. negative
B. positive

Answer:

The supplied clients implement this exact prompt and read the next-position A through Z token scores. Use this decision interface for Choice, Bool and ordered Score tasks; decide_bool returns the probability of yes, and decide_score also returns the expected zero-based level. For ordered scores, supply options from lowest to highest.

Training

Continued from the uncalibrated Jev-Style v1 text backbone derived from Qwen3.5-2B-Base. Training used a BF16 backbone, FP32 rank-32 LoRA (alpha 32), 186 adapted modules and 33,638,400 trainable parameters. Effective batch size was 64 with a 1,024-token budget.

The 60,000-record training pool combines original-task replay with emotion, email, typed workflow decisions, label transformations and programmatic threshold rules. A two-stage schedule increases hard-example sampling while retaining approximately 50% original-task replay. Main training completed 1,000 optimizer updates and processed 11,605,632 tokens in 36.9 minutes on one H100 80GB.

Development (2,050 records), calibration (3,100 records) and final evaluation (5,277 decisions) were handled separately. Checkpoint selection used development results; calibration used the calibration split. This release records one training seed. The evaluation JSON files document the dataset, rendering and deployment protocols.
