Base Labs' 27B open-weight decision model - an MIT-licensed Qwen3.5-27B fine-tune that returns calibrated probabilities over a fixed question set in one forward pass.
Capabilities
- 27B parameters, full fine-tune of Qwen3.5-27B, MIT licensed
- Typed questions (`noul`, `choice`, `score`) answered from one shared-prefix prefill
- Brier calibration term and a trained "I don't know" option
- Top score on the Jev Decision Index 0.4 at 71.24 in Base Labs' release
- 16,384-token sequence limit with hard refusal, not silent truncation
Best for
- Knowledge-heavy decisions that depend on facts beyond the input text
- Routing and classification where a calibrated probability drives the threshold
- Workflows that need a confidence score before escalating to a human reviewer
Limitations to keep in mind
- 16K context is a short document; longer inputs are refused
- Text only - scanned faxes need OCR first
- Decision benchmarks are not clinical validation
- The MIT fine-tune sits on Qwen3.5 base weights with their own terms
- Self-hosting needs a CUDA GPU and a pinned OneJev runtime
HIPAA-compliant hosting
mammoth-1 is available under our HIPAA-compliant design-partner program, with a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA), encryption in transit and at rest, and access controls. We are currently onboarding design partners, with general availability coming soon. Run the model behind a unified OpenRouter-style API and swap to another model with a single parameter. For the deployment requirements behind that, see our 2026 guide to HIPAA compliance for AI & LLM APIs.
Pricing in context
Open source models like mammoth-1 can be served efficiently on optimized inference infrastructure, with savings passed through to you. Exact savings depend on the model and your volume, but open source inference is typically a fraction of the per-token cost of closed-source frontier models on Azure OpenAI or AWS Bedrock - without cloud egress lock-in or minimum commitments. See the full pricing comparison or browse the model catalog.
