Open decision models split into encoder and decoder camps — Liquid AI tried both

helloiamleonie · x · 2026-11-06

Kicking off a technical thread, Liquid AI's Leonie maps the open decision-model ecosystem: encoder-based approaches (convaiinnovations/laya, fastino/GLiNER2.5-Decide, LiquidAI/d1-omni-600M) vs decoder-based ones (perplexity-ai/pplx-decider-v1.2, Cloudflare/clef, LiquidAI/d1-3B, mostly on Qwen3.8-27B bases). Liquid has both architectures, so its first iteration tried both.
