Accuracy per parameter

JevBench's 231 public items, scored with the
benchmark's own modules, one H100, in-process, batch 1. Competitor figures are recomputed from the
benchmark's published per-item records on the identical items, except imajev-4b, which publishes
aggregates only.
Table with columns: System, Params, Easy, Standard, Hard| System | Params | Easy | Standard | Hard |
|---|
| imajev-4b | 4B | 100.0 | 98.6 | 72.1 |
| djev | — | 100.0 | 98.6 | 67.6 |
| pjev-2b | 2.5B | 100.0 | 81.9 | 61.3 |
| SemIf | 4B | 100.0 | 98.6 | 61.3 |
| jqv | 32B | 100.0 | 95.8 | 61.3 |
| reflex-4B | 4B | 100.0 | 94.4 | 60.4 |
| kev 8B | 8B | 100.0 | 93.1 | 45.0 |
| Laya | 0.4B | 95.8 | 69.4 | 35.1 |
pjev-2b is not the most accurate model here, and two open systems above it are. What it is: the
smallest model that holds the 4B line. At 61.3 on the hard tier it matches a 4B and a 32B, beats
every 8B-and-under open model we could pair against, and does it at a quarter to a thirteenth of
their parameter count.
Paired on the 111 hard items, McNemar's exact test with a 20,000-sample paired bootstrap:
Table with columns: Opponent, Diff, 95% CI, p, Verdict| Opponent | Diff | 95% CI | p | Verdict |
|---|
| Laya | +26.1 | +12.6, +38.7 | 0.0003 | win |
| the 8B-and-under open field | +16.2 to +31.5 | — | ≤0.0055 | win |
| the 4B class | ±0.9 | — | ≥0.28 | tie |
These are public-half numbers and are not an official JevBench score. The official board also
scores 308 sealed items that only its operator can run, and every ranked system drops substantially
from public to sealed accuracy. Treat this as a setup check, not a ranking.
Several questions, one piece of evidence

Real traffic rarely asks one question about a document. Route it, flag its urgency, and check it
against a policy, and that is three decisions over the same evidence. The state is encoded once and
the per-question suffixes batch: six questions cost 48 ms in total, 8.0 ms each, against 121 ms
one at a time. One question is still cheapest on the direct path at 20.5 ms; the crossover is at two.
Quick start
pip install "vllm>=0.30.0"hf download Kailune-AI/pjev-2b --local-dir pjev-2bvllm serve ./pjev-2b --port 8000 --served-model-name pjev-2b \ --dtype bfloat16 --max-model-len 16384 --enable-prefix-caching \ --logprobs-mode processed_logprobs --max-logprobs 32
It also loads directly with AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Kailune-AI/pjev-2b").
A request and its real response:
import requests, json state = "Ticket: 'Charged twice for one order, need the duplicate refunded.'"questions = { "queue": {"type": "choice", "instructions": "Route this ticket.", "criteria": {"billing": None, "shipping": None, "account": None, "other": None}}, "urgent": {"type": "noul", "instructions": "This needs attention within 24 hours."},}r = requests.post("http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/systemone", json={"state": state, "questions": questions})print(json.dumps(r.json()["answers"], indent=2))
{ "queue": { "type": "choice", "choice": "billing", "probabilities": {"billing": 0.981, "shipping": 0.004, "account": 0.011, "other": 0.004}, "confidence": 0.981 }, "urgent": {"type": "noul", "noul": 0.874}}
Read it as: route to billing, and threshold the urgent probability against your own cost of being
wrong. There is no verdict to parse and no confidence the model invented.
What to expect
Accuracy. Strong on easy and standard items, mid-field on hard ones. If your decisions look like
routing, classification, policy checks against a short document, or yes/no judgements with clear
criteria, this is the right size. If they need multi-hop reasoning over long policies, the hard-tier
number above is the honest guide.
Confidence. Calibration is the axis where this model does not lead. Hard-tier expected
calibration error is 0.120; several competing systems are better there, and the ones that are fit a
temperature on a held-out set. We ship at temperature 1.0 — see below — which is a defensible
default and also a measurable cost on the hardest items.
Speed. 20.5 ms per decision on one H100, one question at a time; 8.0 ms per question when
several share one state.
Options. Up to 26 options are read directly as letters. Beyond that a tournament round is used,
which is an approximation rather than a single joint softmax.
Abstention. There is none. If the evidence supports no option, the model still distributes
probability across the options you supplied. Threshold on confidence and route the low end to a
person.
How it works
- The state, the question and the option list are rendered into a prompt that ends immediately
before the answer letter.
- One forward pass. At that final position the logits of the tokens
A, B, C, … are gathered —
each is a single token in this tokenizer, asserted at load — and everything else is discarded.
- Softmax over the letters in play gives the distribution. For
noul questions the two letters are
the yes and no branches; for score questions they are the ordered levels.
- Nothing is decoded. A request with several questions about one state runs the shared prefix once
and batches the per-question suffixes.
Why temperature 1.0. Our held-out calibration folds turned out easier than genuinely hard items,
so every temperature fitted on them came out below 1 and made the model more confident exactly where
it should have been less. Rather than ship a temperature that flatters the easy cases, we ship
uncalibrated and say so. If you have a few hundred labelled examples of your own traffic, fitting one
temperature on them is the first improvement to try, and on our own hard-tier numbers it is worth
real points.
The merged weights here were checked against the unmerged base-plus-adapter on 40 JevBench easy and
standard items: identical answers on 40 of 40, maximum probability difference 0.0000.
Limitations
- Mid-field on hard reasoning. Two open systems in the table above beat it on the hard tier. It
is a 2B; this is the trade.
- Not the best calibrated. Hard-tier ECE 0.120, shipped uncalibrated. Fit your own temperature.
- No abstention output. Nothing detects "the evidence does not answer this".
- 26 options before a tournament round, which is an approximation.
- English in practice. Evaluated in English only.
- Public-benchmark numbers only. We have no measurement on any sealed evaluation, and every
ranked system on the public board drops substantially when one is run.
- Not a safety, medical, legal or hiring certificate. It returns probabilities over options you
supply.
