AWS open-sources Strands Decider 2B, a decision model that runs on a laptop

TL;DR

• On 1 October AWS's Strands Labs released Strands Decider 2B, an open decision model built on Qwen3.5-2B, with its training data and scripts.
• It answers yes/no and multiple-choice questions with probabilities, at a median of around 115 ms on an RTX 3090, its authors say.
• AWS offers no hosted API, and VentureBeat notes AWS's charts don't compare it with TypeSafe's Jev.
