Tiny 4B decision model drives agent actions without 500-token reasoning chains
MaziyarPanahi · x · 2026-09-26
The author demos NeoHorse-Jev-4B, a small System 1 model acting as the "what next?" step in agents: given a tiny delivery car, at each junction it receives road state plus valid turns and directly outputs one choice (north → east → north, parcel delivered) — no 500-token driving monologue.
He argues the pattern shines for tool routing, go/no-go checks, next browser actions, and ranking short lists: when your app already knows the valid options, feed a decision model the state + choices, let it score them, and execute the winner in code. Decide → act → repeat.
