Briefings

This article investigates whether general-purpose LLMs already function as Jev-style decision models without fine-tuning. The study introduces LLM-as-Jev, a framework that extracts calibrated decisions from next-token probabilities over bracketed numeric identifiers. Key findings show that the 4B parameter model matches community Jev-style models on the same backbone, outperforms letter-logit readouts, and natively handles multimodal decisions over images. Fine-tuning offers targeted benefits for weaker models and specific tasks but yields diminishing returns for strong backbones.

Key points

• The 4B parameter model matches community Jev-style models built on the same backbone without fine-tuning.
• LLMs natively handle multimodal decisions over images without additional training.

Context

Jev-style decision models return categorical probability distributions over predefined options without generating free-form text, enabling software systems to act on their outputs directly. This work investigates the extent to which general-purpose LLMs already possess this capability out of the box.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to evaluation on Qwen3.5-4B and Qwen3-0.6B models. Results are based on next-token probability analysis and do not include long-term behavioral degradation data or causal claims about fine-tuning necessity across all architectures.
