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 videos) 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.

Highlights

• Jev Decision Index 0.3, public suite: 65.45, measured with the official 0.3 kit on the released weights: all 140,178 public requests answered, none unsupported.
• +8.5 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.
• Reads videos: multiple videos per request (MP4, WebM, MOV or MKV), given as paths, URLs, base64 data URLs or frame arrays, read at 2 frames per second; Perception Test (multiple-choice video QA): 77.4 (internal evaluation).
• Speed: text requests take a median of 55 ms, requests with an image a median of 273 ms, and requests with a 10-second video a median of 553 ms, on one AMD Instinct MI325X, 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=..., videos=...)

Images go before the text of the request, each read at up to 1.6 megapixels; videos follow the images, read at 2 frames per second (at most 32 frames spread over the whole video, each at up to 0.2 megapixels). Every question of the request sees all of them.
