**FastBrain-9B** (`9.4B` total parameters: `Qwen3.5-9B` hybrid backbone + `116M` `JointSchemaHead`) is a single-forward-pass, non-autoregressive **System-1 structured decision model**. Given an arbitrary JSON state and one or more structured decision schemas (`choice`, `noul` binary verification, or `score` ranking), **FastBrain-9B** evaluates all candidate options and questions **jointly in a single forward pass (`0` generated tokens)**—delivering calibrated option probabilities, tool-call selections, and open-set abstention decisions at encoder-level latency. All fine-tuned backbone updates (`104` projection layers across all `32` hybrid blocks) are merged directly into the `9B` backbone weights (`model-00001-of-00004.safetensors` .. `model-00004-of-00004.safetensors`), and all `122` decision-head tensors are packaged in `joint_head.safetensors`. **No external LoRA or PEFT adapter is required at inference time.** --- ## Benchmark Evaluation & Parameter Scale Comparison Evaluated on the official **Cloudflare Decision Index (v0.2.1)** across **10 benchmarks (22,427 evaluation requests)**, **FastBrain-9B (`9.4B`)** achieves an overall Macro Mean of **`80.55%`**: - **Ranks `#1` across all `<=9B` models on `10 / 10` benchmarks**, outperforming the same-size base model `Clef-flash` (`9.4B`, `74.96%`) by **`+5.59 pp`**, `Kev 9B` (`9B`, `76.51%`) by **`+4.04 pp`**, and `Laya` (`0.4B`, `58.09%`) by **`+22.46 pp`**. - **Outperforms `3x`-larger `27B`-class models**: surpasses `Jev` (`27B`, `80.32%`) and `DiffusionGemma Jev` (`26B-A4B`, `69.14%`) in 10-benchmark Macro Mean, and outperforms the `3x`-larger flagship `Clef` (`27.4B`, `81.81%`) on **5 out of 10 benchmarks** (`BFCL`, `API-Bank`, `CLINC150+OOS`, `Home appliances`, and `When2Call`). ![FastBrain-9B Overview](./assets/benchmark_overview.png) ### Full 10-Benchmark Evaluation Matrix (Annotated by Model Parameter Scale) ![FastBrain-9B Scoreboard](./assets/benchmark_scoreboard.png) ### Fine-Grained Decision Calibration & Open-Set Reliability ![FastBrain-9B Calibration Breakdown](./assets/decision_calibration_breakdown.png) ### Summary Comparison by Model Parameter Scale | Benchmark | Metric | `Laya`
