+
41
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
42
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
43
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
44

130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work

+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
155
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,

+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

35
+
36
+ **Turn any LLM into a decision model.** Ask a question about a text and get a probability for
37
+ each predefined option, from the model you already use, hosted or on your own server.
38
+
39
+ ```
40
+ Text: I love the headphones, but the left ear cushion already came off after a week.
41
+ Question: Is the customer complaining?
42
+
43
+ Qwen3.8-27B in a chat:
44
+ Yes, the customer is complaining. While they start with a positive statement ("I love the
45
+ headphones"), the core of their message is reporting a significant defect or failure of the
46
+ product (the left ear cushion detaching after just one week). This indicates dissatisfaction
47
+ with the quality, durability, or performance of the item, which constitutes a complaint that
48
+ likely requires customer service intervention, such as a repair or replacement.
49
+
50
+ The same model through llm2decision:
51
+ 0.97 (the probability of "yes")
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ - **Your choice of model.** Use the model that does best on your tasks: large or small, through an
55
+ API (Nebius, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Mistral) or on your own server (vLLM, SGLang,
56
+ llama.cpp, Ollama). The code stays the same, and switching is one string. Code written for
57
+ TypeSafe Jev moves over by changing the import.
58
+ - **Probabilities you can set thresholds on.** Where the provider returns token probabilities, they
59
+ are calibrated per model, so an answer given with 0.9 is right about 90% of the time. Act on
60
+ confident answers and send the rest to a person.
61
+ - **Nothing to parse.** The answer is always one of your options, or explicitly marked undecided.
62
+ - **Cheap.** Output tokens cost several times more than input ones, and the model writes a token or
63
+ a few instead of an explanation, so you pay mostly for the cheaper input.
64
+ - **Measured.** Every tested model has its accuracy, undecided share and calibration error on the
65
+ same 3 358 questions (section 4), and one command measures your own.
66
+ - **Zero required dependencies**, only the standard library of Python 3.10+.
67
+
68
+ ## Quick start
69
+
70
+ ```
71
+ pip install llm2decision
72
+ export NEBIUS_API_KEY=...
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ ```python
76
+ import llm2decision as l2d
77
+
78
+ client = l2d.DecisionClient("qwen3.8-27b@nebius")
79
+
80
+ document = "I love the headphones, but the left ear cushion already came off after a week."
81
+ questions = {"complaint": l2d.Noul(instructions="Is the customer complaining?")}
82
+ answers = client.system_one(document, questions)
83
+
84
+ print(answers.nouls["complaint"].noul) # the probability of "yes": 0.97
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ `Noul` is a yes/no question; section 3 lists the other types. The numbers in the examples come
88
+ from real runs: a rerun can differ in the second decimal, and another model gives other numbers.
89
+
90
+ ## 1. Connect
91
+
92
+ Name a tested model or a provider and any of its models. `qwen3.8-27b@nebius`, used in the
93
+ examples, and `gpt-5.4@openai` are good to start with; section 4 compares all 21.
94
+
95
+ ```python
96
+ import llm2decision as l2d
97
+
98
+ l2d.DecisionClient("qwen3.8-27b@nebius") # a tested model (section 4)
99
+ l2d.DecisionClient("qwen3.8-27b") # the same, when the name is unique
100
+ l2d.DecisionClient("google/gemini-2.5-flash", provider="openrouter") # any model of a provider
101
+ l2d.DecisionClient("Qwen/Qwen3-8B", base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1") # your own server, no key
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ | provider | `provider=` | key variable | answers |
105
+ |---|---|---|---|
106
+ | your own server (vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, Ollama) | `"local"`, or just `base_url=` | — | with probabilities |
107
+ | Nebius | `"nebius"` | `NEBIUS_API_KEY` | with probabilities |
108
+ | OpenRouter | `"openrouter"` | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | with probabilities where the model gives them |
109
+ | OpenAI | `"openai"` | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | text |
110
+ | Anthropic | `"anthropic"` | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | text |
111
+ | Mistral | `"mistral"` | `MISTRAL_API_KEY` | text |
112
+
113
+ Keys: the provider's variable, `api_key=` (a string or a function), `key_env=` or `env_file=`.
114
+
115
+ ## 2. Check the model
116
+
117
+ Before relying on a model that is not in the table of section 4, run the check with the same
118
+ arguments you connect with — a provider, or the `base_url` of your own server:
119
+
120
+ ```
121
+ llm2decision check google/gemini-2.5-flash --provider openrouter
122
+ llm2decision check Qwen/Qwen3-8B --base-url http://localhost:8000/v1
123
+ ```
124
+
125
+ It sends about a dozen easy questions and reports, point by point, whether the model is reachable,
126
+ answers in the expected form, gets the easy questions right, returns probabilities and keeps
127
+ reasoning off. A failed point names the reason. `client.check()` does the same in code, and
128
+ `--save` remembers a pass so that later answers carry `meta.checked`.
129
+
130
+ Then try the model on a few dozen questions of your own and look at `meta.answered`: a model that
131
+ passes the easy questions can still refuse to decide on hard ones.
132
+
133
+ To compare a model with the table of section 4, measure it on the same
134
+ [Decision Questions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mihailgribov/decision-questions) set:
135
+
136
+ ```
137
+ llm2decision bench Qwen/Qwen3-8B --base-url http://localhost:8000/v1
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ It asks the 3 358 questions one by one (on a hosted model, at your provider's prices; `--limit`
141
+ takes the first N), saves the answers as they come, continues where it stopped when run again, and
142
+ prints accuracy by question type, the share of undecided questions and the calibration error.
143
+
144
+ ## 3. Ask questions
145
+
146
+ Several questions about one text go in a single call:
147
+
148
+ ```python
149
+ import llm2decision as l2d
150
+
151
+ message = "Hi, I was charged twice for order #4411, please refund the extra payment."
152
+
153
+ with l2d.DecisionClient("qwen3.8-27b@nebius") as client:
154
+ answers = client.system_one(
155
+ message,
156
+ {
157
+ "refund": l2d.Noul(instructions="Does the customer ask for money back?"),
158
+ "team": l2d.Choice(instructions="Which team should handle this?",
159
+ criteria={"billing": "Payments and refunds", "shipping": "Delivery",
160
+ "tech": "Bugs and errors"}),
161
+ },
162
+ )
163
+
164
+ answers.nouls["refund"].noul # 0.998 — P(yes)
165
+ answers.choices["team"].choice # "billing"
166
+ answers.choices["team"].probabilities # {"billing": 0.999, "shipping": 0.0, "tech": 0.001}
167
+ ```
168
+
169
+ | type | question | use it when | answer |
170
+ |---|---|---|---|
171
+ | `l2d.Noul(instructions=…, criteria={"true": …, "false": …})` | yes / no | the text settles it either way | `.noul` — P(yes) |
172
+ | `l2d.Tfu(instructions=…, criteria={"true": …, "false": …, "unknown": …})` | **t**rue / **f**alse / **u**nknown | the text may not settle it, and "unknown" should be an answer rather than a guess | `.tfu` — `"true"`, `"false"` or `"unknown"`, with `.probabilities` |
173
+ | `l2d.Choice(instructions=…, criteria={label: description, …})` | choice | one of several named options | `.choice`, `.confidence`, `.probabilities` |
174
+ | `l2d.Score(instructions=…, criteria=[level 0, level 1, …])` | score | a level on an ordered scale | `.score` — the expected level, `.probabilities` per level |
175
+
176
+ The answers come back grouped by type, under the names you gave the questions: `answers.nouls`,
177
+ `.tfus`, `.choices` and `.scores`.
178
+
179
+ When the text may not settle the question, `Tfu` makes "unknown" an answer of its own:
180
+
181
+ ```python
182
+ import llm2decision as l2d
183
+
184
+ client = l2d.DecisionClient("qwen3.8-27b@nebius")
185
+ document = "The parcel came a week late and the box was dented, but everything inside works fine."
186
+ questions = {"satisfied": l2d.Tfu(instructions="Is the customer satisfied with the order?")}
187
+
188
+ client.system_one(document, questions).tfus["satisfied"].probabilities
189
+ # {"true": 0.082, "false": 0.107, "unknown": 0.811}
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ `criteria` are optional for yes/no questions; write them when "yes" needs defining. For a `Choice`,
193
+ describe every option, because the description is what the model judges by. The questions of a
194
+ call run in parallel, and the text can be a string or any JSON-serialisable object.
195
+
196
+ Every answer carries `meta`, and `meta.answered` is the field to act on: it is False when the
197
+ model refused to decide, and the probabilities of such an answer mean nothing. A typical handler
198
+ acts on confident answers and passes the rest on:
199
+
200
+ ```python
201
+ answer = answers.choices["team"]
202
+ if answer.meta.answered and answer.confidence >= 0.9:
203
+ route(message, answer.choice)
204
+ else:
205
+ send_to_person(message) # undecided or unsure
206
+ ```
207
+
208
+ With `strict=True` an undecided answer raises `l2d.UnreadableAnswer` instead. The other `meta`
209
+ fields say how the answer was obtained:
210
+
211
+ | field | meaning |
212
+ |---|---|
213
+ | `logprobs` | True: read from the model's token probabilities; False: from the text it wrote, so the probabilities are 1 and 0 and a threshold does nothing |
214
+ | `calibrated` | the probabilities were calibrated for this model (section 5) |
215
+ | `checked` | the model passed `check()` and the pass was saved (section 2) |
216
+
217
+ `answers.to_dict()` gives the whole response as plain data.
218
+
219
+ ## 4. Choose a model

246
+
247
+ - **Decision Questions** — accuracy on
248
+ [Decision Questions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mihailgribov/decision-questions), 3 358
249
+ questions across many domains; `llm2decision bench` measures it for any model (section 2), and
250
+ [`benchmark/`](https://github.com/mihail-gribov/llm2decision/tree/main/benchmark) has every
251
+ model's answers.
252
+ - **JevBench** — accuracy on the 231 public tasks of
253
+ [JevBench](https://github.com/fstandhartinger/jevbench), not its own score; differences under
254
+ ~5 points are noise.
255
+ - **undecided** — share of questions the model refused to decide. Accuracy leaves them out, so read
256
+ the two columns together.
257
+ - **calibration error** — how far the stated probabilities are from how often the model is right
258
+ (lower is better). *no probabilities*: the provider answers in text.
259
+
260
+ How to pick:
261
+
262
+ - **The most accurate:** `claude-sonnet-5.5`, but it refuses to decide about 6% of questions, so
263
+ you need a fallback for those; `gpt-5.4` decides nearly everything and comes next.
264
+ - **A confidence you can set thresholds on:** a model with a low calibration error. `qwen3.8-27b`,
265
+ `kimi-k2.6` and `qwen3.5-397b` are within 3 points of `gpt-5.4`.
266
+ - **Volume at a lower price:** `qwen3-30b-a3b` (0.833) and `gpt-oss-120b` (0.830) are calibrated and
267
+ cost $0.10 and $0.15 per million input tokens on Nebius, against $0.45 for `qwen3.8-27b`.
268
+ - **The lowest price, when accuracy around 0.75 is enough:** `nemotron-3-nano` and
269
+ `nemotron-3.5-lightning`, $0.06 per million input tokens on Nebius.
270
+ - **Data that must not leave your hardware:** any model on your own OpenAI-compatible server,
271
+ checked as in section 2.
272
+
273
+ Prices are Nebius list prices of October 2026.
274
+
275
+ Whatever the model, yes/no/unknown and rubric scores are the hardest question types (`bench`
276
+ prints accuracy per type), so where a decision matters, a yes/no or a choice question gets better
277
+ answers.
278
+
279
+ ## 5. Tune
280
+
281
+ ```python
282
+ l2d.DecisionClient(model, *, provider=None, base_url=None, api_key=None, key_env=None, env_file=None,
283
+ timeout=120.0, retries=6, workers=8, calibrated=True, strict=False)
284
+ ```
285
+
286
+ `workers` is how many questions of one call go out in parallel. `timeout` and `retries` apply per
287
+ request: rate limits, server errors and dropped connections are retried with backoff, while a
288
+ refused request or an exhausted balance fails at once. The connection arguments (`provider`,
289
+ `base_url`, `api_key`, `key_env`, `env_file`) are described in section 1, and `strict` in section 3.
290
+
291
+ By default (`calibrated=True`) the probabilities of a model from the table are calibrated: the
292
+ model's own ones are rescaled so that an answer given with 0.8 is right about 80% of the time. The
293
+ rescaling makes them sharper or softer but never changes which answer is the most likely. A model
294
+ without a calibration (your own, or one that answers in text) is returned as it is, and
295
+ `meta.calibrated` says which case you got. `calibrated=False` returns the model's own probabilities.
296
+
297
+ A single call can override the model, the timeout and the request:
298
+
299
+ ```python
300
+ client.system_one(text, questions,
301
+ model="qwen3-235b", # same provider and key
302
+ timeout=10,
303
+ extra_headers={"X-Trace": "…"},
304
+ extra_body={"priority": 1}) # merged into the request
305
+
306
+ async with l2d.AsyncDecisionClient("qwen3.8-27b@nebius") as client:
307
+ answers = await client.system_one(text, questions)
308
+ ```
309
+
310
+ All errors derive from `l2d.LLM2DecisionError`: `QuestionError` names a malformed question before
311
+ any request is sent, `AuthError` and `ConfigError` come from the setup, `TransportError` means the
312
+ provider refused or kept failing, and `UnreadableAnswer` means the model refused to decide
313
+ (`meta.answered` is False) and is raised only with `strict=True`.
314
+
315
+ ## 6. Your own models
316
+
317
+ Files named `models.json`, `providers.json` and `forms.json` in `$LLM2DECISION_HOME` (default
318
+ `~/.config/llm2decision`) are read on top of the package's own, field by field. A model of your own
319
+ gets a short name, and a model that answers in another language learns its words for yes and no:
320
+
321
+ ```json
322
+ {
323
+ "my-qwen@local": {"provider": "local", "model": "Qwen/Qwen3-8B"},
324
+ "my-french@local": {"provider": "local", "model": "…", "forms": {"true": ["oui"], "false": ["non"]}}
325
+ }
326
+ ```
327
+
328
+ `llm2decision models` and `l2d.list_models()` include your models.
329
+
330
+ Some servers cannot continue an answer that the package has started. For your own model on such a
331
+ server, the package renders the model's chat template itself, which needs the only optional extra:
332
+ `pip install "llm2decision[template]"` (transformers and jinja2).
333
+
334
+ ## Limits
335
+
336
+ - This version answers without reasoning, so models that cannot switch reasoning off, such as
337
+ Gemini 3, are not supported.
338
+ - Text only: images are not supported yet.
339
+ - Calibration was done on English decision questions and may be off on very different material.
