## Summary

Llama.cpp now supports decision models that assign probabilities to predefined options in a single forward pass, unlike chat models that generate text. These models can route customer messages, moderate content, or guide agents’ next steps. The new `/v1/systemone` endpoint uses the System One format, compatible with existing clients. Models like Kev-4B-GGUF and OpenJev-GGUF (with vision support) are available in the Decision models collection, with more expected weekly. Users can test models locally via `llama serve` and adjust confidence thresholds for automation decisions. The community-maintained Decision Index compares performance and speed across models.

## Key points

- Decision models return probabilities for predefined options in one forward pass, unlike text-generating models
- Kev-4B-GGUF and OpenJev-GGUF (with image support) are available now via llama.cpp’s `/v1/systemone` endpoint
- Models can route customer queries, classify documents, or score urgency—useful for automation and agent workflows

## Why it matters

Decision models cut latency and token costs for tasks needing deterministic choices, like routing or moderation, compared to text-based models.
