Jev Decision Models Tackle the Trolley Problem: Probabilistic Choices Replace Text Generation to Validate Low-Cost General Reasoning
- Decision models like Jev output discrete choices with probability confidence instead of text, significantly reducing inference costs and increasing speed.
- The classic ethical thought experiment 'Trolley Problem' was used as a benchmark to assess decision models' logic in ambiguous scenarios without clear correct answers.
- The experiment released frozen exact-prompt scores and panel results, providing reproducible data for comparing the robustness of different decision models.
