Liquid AI has released Open d1, two open-weight multimodal models in its d1 decision model family. d1-3B reads text and images. d1-omni-600M reads text with an image, or text with audio. Neither model writes text. Each returns calibrated, typed answers in one forward pass with zero output tokens. The target is real-time decisions on the NVIDIA stack: DGX servers, RTX workstations, and Jetson edge boards.
Is it deployable? Yes. Both checkpoints are on Hugging Face, load through Transformers, and have day-one llama.cpp support. The LFM Open License v1.0 allows free commercial use below $10 million in annual revenue. d1-omni-600M is an early research release with no published latency figures.
A generative LLM writes its answer token by token, and your code parses it. A decision model takes a state and a set of named questions. It reads them once and returns a probability for every allowed answer. The Liquid AI define three question types:
Several questions can share one state in a single call. Every response reports output_tokens: 0. Liquid AI recommends d1 for routing, moderation, intent classification, reranking, LLM-as-a-judge scoring, agent guardrails, and visual inspection. Neither checkpoint is a chat model.
