PixilabAI/Blink-v0.5-26B-A4B
Blink-v0.5-26B-A4B by PixilabAI and Nemini is a 26 billion parameter decision model with a 32768 token context length, optimized for fast, calibrated decision-making. It reads a state, question, and options, returning probabilities for each option in a single forward pass. This model excels at tasks like routing, moderation, tagging, and yes/no checks, achieving a Decision Index of 58.67 (60.39 with 'think when unsure' feature) and demonstrating strong calibration out of the box.

Blink v0.5-26B-A4B: A Fast, Calibrated Decision Model
Blink v0.5-26B-A4B, developed by PixilabAI and Nemini, is a 26 billion parameter model designed for rapid, calibrated decision-making. Unlike traditional LLMs that generate prose, Blink processes a given state, question, and a list of options, outputting a probability for each option in a single forward pass. This makes it highly efficient for integration into products requiring quick, definitive answers.
Key Capabilities
- High Decision Index: Achieves a Decision Index of 58.67 on the 0.2.1 suite, with an improved 60.39 when utilizing its "think when unsure" feature for complex questions.
- Strong Calibration: The model is calibrated out of the box, with its confidence closely matching its accuracy (0.750 accuracy vs. 0.735 confidence at recommended temperature 1.4).
- Optimized for Decision Tasks: Shows significant improvements in "Tools" (75.8) and "Knowledge" (43.4) areas, particularly in benchmarks like When2Call (84.8) and GPQA Diamond (27.9).
- Efficient Inference: Designed for fast, single-token output, replacing the need to parse lengthy LLM responses for specific decisions.
- "Think When Unsure" Feature: For approximately 6% of questions where the model is least confident, it can perform a short internal thought process, boosting accuracy at a minimal latency cost for those specific queries.
Good For
- Product Integration: Ideal for embedding directly into applications for tasks like content routing, moderation, data tagging, gating, and deduplication.
- Binary and Multi-choice Decisions: Excels at yes/no questions and selecting from a predefined set of options.
- Replacing LLM Parsing: Offers a more direct and efficient alternative to using larger LLMs for decision-making and then parsing their free-form text output.
- Applications Requiring Confidence Scores: Useful in scenarios where not just the decision, but also the confidence level of that decision, is important.
