Liquid AI open-sources d1-3B, a decision model that answers in 8 ms on an RTX 4090 with zero output tokens

Released Oct 7 on Hugging Face alongside the experimental d1-omni-600M (text plus image or audio), d1-3B returns a typed answer in one forward pass instead of generating text, scoring 48.57 on the Decision Index v0.2.1 public split, which Liquid says matches Decider 35B-A3B at 12x smaller. It has day-one llama.cpp support and runs a question in 16 to 50 ms on Jetson boards, so it's a cheap local option for gating, routing, or moderation steps in an agent loop.
