Valen-Decision-1.5-2B is a 2.22B parameter decision model from the Valen Team, built as a full fine-tune of Qwen3.5-2B. It answers predicate, choice, score and bounding box questions in a single forward pass, for jobs such as classifying customer messages, screening product images and tagging actions in video. Weights are open under Apache-2.0, and a free hosted API serves the 0.8B, 2B and 4B sizes with no API key. It scores 61.89 on the Jev Decision Index 0.4.1.
A solid 2.22B-parameter dense decision model from Valen. Treat the modality benchmarks above as the leading indicator of fit — composite scoring across modalities is still maturing.

Valen-Decision-1.5 adds block-bidirectional attention and a bbox grounding head to the Qwen backbone, so one forward pass returns probabilities for predicate, choice and score questions plus a box for each bbox question. The 1.5 generation ships in five sizes (0.8B, 2B, 4B, 9B, 27B), each in native Transformers weights, ONNX and GGUF formats; the native weights keep the backbone in BF16 and the decision and grounding heads in FP32. Training code is released for fine-tuning on private data, and the model supports both the SystemOne and Decisions API formats. Training data is not public.
