Glossary

Terms are grouped: the decision API first, then the model, then training, then serving and jevx.

Term Meaning
System One A decision model that answers in well under a second with a number or a key, never prose. 1
/v1/systemone The OpenJevX decision endpoint, served by the same process as /health, behind an API-key check. 2 3
noul A yes/no question; its two keys are false and true. 4
choice A question that picks one option key; the answer carries the winning key as choice. 5 6 7
score A question whose options are levels, lowest first, such as low|medium|high. 8
state The facts the decision depends on, as a JSON object or plain text. 9
question: type, instructions, criteria A training row’s questions are {id:{type: noul|choice|score, instructions, criteria}}. 10
probabilities One probability per option key, for example {"api":0.0073,"billing":0.0066,"docs":0.0073,"web":0.9788} for a choice. 11
confidence / answer_confidence For noul, max(p, 1-p); in the routing recipe the pick web has probability 0.9788 and confidence 0.9788. 12 11
act_probability A field under action in each answer, for example "action":{"act_probability":1}. 11
Term Meaning
Laya The base model, convaiinnovations/laya, built by Nandakishor Mukkunnoth, ConvAI Innovations. 13
ModernBERT The encoder, answerdotai/ModernBERT-large (395M), plus Laya’s decision head (421M total). 14
RLCD Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions, the training method. 15
model folder One folder holding openjevx.w8.onnx, config.json and tokenizer.json; the server loads it and uses that model’s own temperatures. 16
openjevx.w8.onnx The graph, 8-bit weight-only, at most 750 MB (model.max_w8_mb). 17 18
config.json (model) The model’s version, calibration temperatures (choice, score, noul), max_len, special ids and sha256 of the graph. 19 20
tokenizer.json Optional in a model folder; the built-in ModernBERT tokenizer is used otherwise. 21
QDQ weight-only / MatMulNBits The graph is QDQ weight-only: int8 DequantizeLinear feed fp32 MatMul, and ORT fuses them into MatMulNBits (8-bit, accuracy level 4 = int8 activations). 22
calibration temperature temperature in config.json is that model’s own confidence calibration, so each model carries its own. 23 24
max_len The token length the model was trained at; model 0.5.2’s config.json has 512, so longer inputs are cut at 512 tokens. 25 26
head_max The token budget shared by the question head and its options; 256 in the model 0.5.2 folder. 27 28 25
marker The input position of each option; each option’s token ids start with p.MASK, and markers[i] records where option i begins. 29 30
[MASK] in text Any literal [MASK] in the state, instructions or options is replaced by a space. 31 32 33
Term Meaning
gold The target in a training row: full probability distributions, not hard labels. 34 35
gate The test a model must pass to ship: it is served locally and scored, and ft.py gate exits 1 if it misses the config thresholds. 36 37
basics gate gate/basics_gate.jsonl and gate/conditions_basics_gate.jsonl, the basics_files the thresholds apply to. 38
jevx 13 fundamentals 13 checks run through jevx; a model needs at least 12 of 13. 39
right & confident Right and sure enough to act on: yes ≥ 0.8, no ≤ 0.2, a choice or score ≥ 0.6. 40
confidently wrong Sure and wrong; the dangerous one. 41
usable Right AND past jevx’s default thresholds (yes ≥ 0.8, no ≤ 0.2, choice/score ≥ 0.6). 42
leakage check Removes any training question that also appears in a test or gate file, so the gate measures unseen cases. 43
shard Built by ft.py package in <data>/work/shards/<version>[-smoke]/; ft.py train runs the shard on the GPU provider. 44
smoke run The run ft.py all makes before the full run: a ~10-minute smoke job on the GPU provider. 45 46
--repeat How many times your train file is repeated in the training mix; default 3. 47
trainable checkpoint The training checkpoint that is kept so the model can be fine-tuned again. 48
fine-tune kit The v0.5.2 trainable checkpoint (777 MB): model.safetensors, encoder/, tokenizer/, rl_agent_config.json, and no training data. 49
DESTROY-AFTER label The self-destroy function destroys only openjevx-*-DESTROY-AFTER boxes when given the kill token. 50
private / public R2 bucket openjevx-train holds shards, runs, checkpoints and gate reports and stays private; only released models go to the public openjevx bucket. 51
jev-train Trains Jev on your own decisions: it validates your CSV, uploads it to S3 in your AWS account, starts a SageMaker training job and watches it. 52
Term Meaning
models/current/ The S3 prefix the server loads (model = s3://<bucket>/models/current/). 53
promote / rollback Promote copies the 3 files of models/<version>/ into models/current/; rollback promotes the previous version again. 54
ETag reload On a new ETag the server downloads into a new cache folder, verifies it, swaps it in between requests, and keeps the previous folder for rollback. 55
model_sha256 pin The sha256 of the .tar.gz or the folder’s openjevx.w8.onnx; a mismatch fails loudly. 56 57
fallback model The folder served while the bucket holds no model yet; by default the model/ lookup next to the executable. 58
Server-Timing A header on every decision response with encode, wait, run and total in ms. 59
usage.server_ms The Server-Timing total, repeated as usage.server_ms in the JSON body. 59
openjevx.api-key / openjevx.password Files the server generates (mode 0600) when the API key or dashboard password is needed but unset: beside openjevx.json, else in $OPENJEVX_DATA, else the working folder; reused on later starts. 60
jevx profile A named System One endpoint in jevx, added with jevx profile add NAME URL --model MODEL. 61
jevx cache Answers are cached on your machine, a hash-keyed file each; --fresh asks again. 62
