Replacing Large Language Models with Jev Decision Models for Low-Latency Edge Service Orchestration
This paper replaces LLM-based decision making in edge service orchestration with Jev decision models, reporting 22.7–64.5% lower median decision latency and far higher request completion rates under load, while noting wide contracts mark the limit of substitution.
I built a browser agent where every step is a ~150ms decision instead of an LLM call (open source, zero deps)
The author built 'hunch', an open-source browser agent tool that uses a lightweight model (jev) for quick ~150ms decisions per step, reducing latency compared to LLM calls and integrating under existing agents like Claude Code with structured exit reports.
When Faster Decisions Do Not Make Better Agents: An Empirical Study of Jev in Agent Workflows
An empirical study from Nanjing University investigating whether integrating faster, lower-cost decision models (Jev by TypeSafe AI) into LLM agent workflows actually improves task-level efficiency and reliability, evaluating five agents across ALFWorld and AndroidWorld with 4,500 task executions.

The approach I'm setting up for agents that approve things is a small logic model that double checks the decision
The author describes a second-opinion checker pattern for finance approval agents and evaluates webAI's new 3.66B logic-only model TwIL-LM3 Pro, which matches Qwen3-8B's logic scores at less than half the size and runs locally for data privacy.
