d3

d3 is the 27B multimodal foundation decision model of Decision 3.0, the decision models of vLLM Semantic Router. Give it an input (text or JSON, optionally with images) and the questions you need answered: pick one of several options, say yes or no, or rate on a scale. It answers them all in one call and returns a probability for every answer, without generating text.

Parameters	26.09B, including the 0.46B vision encoder
Inputs	Text or JSON, plus images (several per request)
Decision types	Choice · Yes / No · Score
License	Apache-2.0

Highlights

• Jev Decision Index 0.3, public suite: 64.24, measured with the official 0.3 kit on the released weights: all 140,178 public requests answered, none unsupported. The official Full scores on the text and vision boards are pending official evaluation.
• +7.3 on the public suite over Decision 2.0 (its 27B model: 56.97 on the board), ahead in all five areas.
• Reads images: multiple images per request (PNG, JPEG or WebP), given as paths, URLs, PIL images or base64 data URLs; every question of the request sees all of them.
• Speed: text requests take a median of 108.7 ms (mean 385.8 ms, 80th percentile 270.7 ms); requests with an image a median of 406.9 ms (mean 403.9 ms, 80th percentile 408.9 ms). One NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000, one request at a time.
• Many questions, one call: Choice, Yes / No and Score questions about the same input are answered together, each from its own forward pass over the input, with a probability for every option.

# Or as a pipeline:
# transformers.pipeline("decision", model="vllm-sr/d3", trust_remote_code=True)(state=..., questions=..., images=...)

Images go before the text of the request, each read at up to 1.6 megapixels; every question of the request sees all of them.
