These models, ranging from 0.4 to 27 billion parameters, are distinct from large language models as they directly assess choices without generating answer tokens. However, their effectiveness depends on clearly defining which judgments are suitable for automation and ensuring the model's choices lead to the correct outcome, such as routing a customer issue to the appropriate department.
