Microsoft-Decision-1 is a small model built for fast decision-making. Instead of generating text, it reads the provided content and returns a calibrated probability for each fixed answer option, so the response carries its own confidence and can determine when an application acts, defers, or asks for review. It is post-trained from Qwen3.5-9B for single-pass scoring and suited to classification, routing, prioritization, verification, workflow control, agent guardrails, and AI judging. It is not intended for open-ended generation, conversation, translation, or summarization. Weights are updated continually while the API shape stays the same.
