About this event

LLMs are too slow and too expensive for most of what an agent decides. That’s why TypeSafe’s Jev made such an impression in September: a new kind of model that makes decisions in milliseconds instead of generating text. In this hands-on workshop you’ll build with Strands Decider 2B, AWS’s open-source decision model, built on the same idea as Jev and running on your own laptop. Your agent makes its routine decisions locally, with no inference cost per decision, and calls an LLM only when it’s unsure. No prior AI or agent experience needed. Decision models, also called System One models, choose from options you define and return a calibrated confidence score in about a tenth of a second. Strands Decider 2B was released on 1 October and is a 1.9B-parameter model, small enough to run on a laptop. We’ll build a help desk triage agent, stage by stage, in Python or TypeScript: Ask the model a question: run Strands Decider 2B locally, ask it to choose a team for a message, and see the probabil
