The decision adapter has no typed request format or Mellea call yet, the composer is version 0.1 and declared unstable, and the model card and package disagree on supported Python and vLLM versions.\n\n**Jev.** Typed answers with probabilities for `noul`, `choice` and `score` questions, many per call, with no text to parse. Early access behind a waitlist, with no free tier or free credits found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Granite Switch 4.1\n\n1. Pass `chat_template_kwargs: {\"adapter_name\": \"decision\"}` or `\"guardian-core\"`. Without it the request is ordinary chat on the base model\n2. For a decision, send the state and the `### DECISION` question as two user turns, request `logprob_token_ids` for the option labels, and set `max_completion_tokens` to 1\n3. Use single-token option labels. Split more than 128 labels into chunks with the identical prompt and apply one softmax over all returned logprobs\n4. Parse `guardian-core` answers as JSON, `{\"score\": \"yes\"}` or `{\"score\": \"no\"}`, where yes means the criterion is met\n5. Add authentication before exposing the vLLM server. Neither vLLM nor the checkpoint requires a key by default\n\n### Jev\n\n1. Put every independent question about one state into a single call. They run in parallel and the state is billed once\n2. Pin `jev-1.13.0` instead of `jev-latest` once you've tuned confidence thresholds\n3. Back off exponentially on 429 and 529. The limits move with demand\n4. Keep state to what the decision needs. Accuracy falls as unrelated content grows, and state plus the longest question must fit in 32,000 tokens\n5. Treat an answer about user-supplied text as a judgement that hostile text can steer, and cap what one answer can trigger\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Route a return request with Jev](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/typesafe-jev/), for Jev\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Granite Switch 4.1 or Jev?\n\nJev scores 62.1 (B) on agent readiness against Granite Switch 4.1's 59.4 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
