One person maintains it, the local server has no authentication option, states over 32,768 tokens are cut without an error, and no security policy is published.\n\n**kettei.** OneHot returns probabilities for up to 128 typed questions a call at $0.02 to $0.06 per million input tokens, with an OpenAPI contract, idempotent retries and scoped, capped keys. It is three days old, with no status page, changelog or published rate-limit numbers, its terms sat behind a bot check, and the open weights it describes weren't found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Decider\n\n1. Pin weights by Hub tag (`v10`, `v2`) when results must repeat. The `main` branch of each model repository changes with new versions\n2. Read `x_p_max` for the top probability. Since 1.3.0 `confidence` on choice and score answers follows TypeSafe's rescaled definition, not the top probability\n3. Keep the server on 127.0.0.1 or put an authenticating proxy in front. It has no key option\n4. Count state tokens before sending. Over 32,768 the state is cut silently, and `/decide` caps context at 1,536 tokens\n5. Split multi-step arithmetic or multi-hop judgements into several questions, and don't write long rules into a question. The README says both fail\n\n### kettei\n\n1. Send `context` and `decisions` to `POST https://api.sqwish.ai/v1/decide` with a bearer key. Leaving out `model` gets `kettei-core`, which reads text only\n2. Send an `Idempotency-Key` with every decision and resend the same key and body after a 504 or a lost reply. Replays aren't charged\n3. Branch on `error.code` and `error.retryable`, not the status. Wait for `Retry-After` on 429 and retryable 503s\n4. Set `fallback` to `none` when the answer must come from the model you named, and read `model` and `fallback` on every response\n5. Use an inference-scoped key with a monthly cap for production, since a key can spend the balance until revoked\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Classify a message locally with Decider](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/decider/), for Decider\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Decider or kettei?\n\nDecider scores 69.5 (B) on agent readiness against kettei's 58.3 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. kettei leads on schema \u0026 documentation, agent ergonomics, security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Decider and kettei need an API key?\n\nDecider needs no key. kettei needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Decider and kettei without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Decider. kettei has a hosted endpoint at https://api.sqwish.ai/v1/decide.\n\n### Are Decider and kettei open source?\n\nDecider is open source (Apache-2.0 (code and weights)).
