Bespoke open-sources Nimble: contrastive data curation recipe clones TypeSafe's Jev

Bespoke Labs released Bespoke Nimble, a fully open (data + model + recipe) replication of TypeSafe's Jev-style fast typed-decision model.
- Data: a new "contrastive data curation" recipe — slightly altering facts to create negative examples pushes the model to discriminate better and calibrate implicitly, eliminating the need for probability labels; 10 fully synthetic categories split into train/eval.
- Training: LoRA finetune of Qwen3.5-9B, distillation-free (Jev used only for evaluation), no RL yet.
- Results: the post-trained model substantially outperforms the base Qwen (66%) on the curated eval.
- Serving: parallel constrained decoding; one-step decisions with no reasoning chain for blazing-fast inference.
