Baseten has released joey-1, an open-weights AI model for yes-or-no and multiple-choice decisions. Baseten says it costs $0.01 per million tokens, offering a cheaper option for tasks such as support-ticket routing.
Baseten’s joey-1 has 2B parameters and returns an answer with a probability score rather than generating text. Baseten says it handles a typical 2,000-token request in 20 milliseconds.
The AI model is built on Alibaba’s Qwen3.5-2B and joins Baseten’s larger mammoth-1 and elephant-1 models, released last week. These decision models target narrowly defined choices rather than written replies.
For companies building AI workflows, potential uses include sorting support tickets, detecting spam and blocking harmful prompts. Baseten claims joey-1 leads decision models with no more than 3B parameters, but its supporting tests remain unpublished, leaving that lead unproven.
Routine classification could become cheaper without requiring a model to generate a written response.
Open weights give builders another model to test for support routing and spam detection.
The unpublished tests mean builders cannot yet verify Baseten’s claim of leading performance in its size range.
