vLLM Semantic Router releases 27B open multimodal decision model d3-ultra

Unlike generative models, d3-ultra does not produce text but assigns probabilities to answers across multiple questions in a single input. It supports text, JSON, images, and videos, with a context window of 131,072 tokens per question and a 0.46B-parameter vision encoder included in its 26.09B total parameters.

Key points

  • vLLM Semantic Router released d3-ultra, a 27B open multimodal decision model under Apache-2.0
  • Supports text, JSON, images, and videos with a 131,072-token context window and 0.46B vision encoder
  • Scores 87.2 on SR-Text benchmark, but trails d3-turbo in visual grounding (58.2% vs 60.0%)

The model excels in text-based decision tasks, scoring 87.2 on the team’s SR-Text benchmark (chance-corrected accuracy), surpassing competitors like GLiDE V1.2 (85.1) and its sibling d3-turbo (83.1). However, it underperforms in visual grounding (58.2% on SR-Box), trailing d3-turbo (60.0%). Deployment options include Hugging Face Transformers, the vLLM Semantic Router Engine, a free API at decision.vllm-sr.ai, and a demo on Hugging Face Space. The team reports 304 ms latency for a single photo question on an AMD Instinct MI325X GPU, with 2.16 seconds for 255 questions—7.3 ms per additional question—using BF16 weights. No quantized variants are listed yet.
