Liquid AI launches decision model d1-ultra, topping Decision Index by 8+ points
Balance- · reddit · 2026-10-16
Liquid AI released d1-ultra, a multimodal decision model that reads text, images, or both in a single forward pass and returns calibrated probabilities for yes/no, multi-label, and scale questions — without generating any tokens.
- Built on a larger open-weight base than its predecessor d1, targeting messy real-world tasks like checking circuit boards against specs or validating damage claims against customer photos
- Beats d1 and Jev 1.14 across 112 evaluations, with the biggest gains on knowledge tasks, plus improved calibration to counter decision models' overconfidence
- Leads other decision models on the Artificial Analysis Decision Index by at least 8 points; the pareto chart shows it scoring 65 at roughly $30 per 1M tasks
- Priced at $0.042 per million input tokens via the Liquid AI API, with Vercel and OpenRouter listings planned
