AWS has open-sourced Strands Decider 2B, a lightweight decision model, and Strands Box, a kernel-level sandbox, to address routing and execution safety in AI agent workflows. Decider, fine-tuned from Qwen3.5-2B, enables deterministic decisions with sub-150ms latency, while Box restricts tool calls and network access via a unified policy layer to prevent unauthorized actions.

    • Strands Decider 2B uses pointer heads and LoRA fine-tuning to achieve ~115-153ms low-latency decisions on consumer hardware with 72.3% accuracy.
    • Strands Box offers a kernel-level sandbox that unifies policy control over Shell, Python, and network access to prevent dangerous agent executions.
    • Together, they extend the Strands ecosystem by bridging the gap between orchestration and specific decision logic/safety enforcement.
