Supersonic Labs released Julia 1, a 144.3M-parameter Apache 2.0 decision model that picks among supplied answers on CPU.

Supersonic Labs, a small Brazilian AI lab, released Julia 1, an open 144.3 million-parameter decision model under Apache 2.0. It takes context, a question, and 2 to 20 candidate answers and returns a choice plus softmax probabilities; it does not generate text. The model keeps JHU CLSP’s mmBERT-small encoder and a decision head; the lab says training and experiments cost about US$104. Pilots beat TypeSafe Jev references on several tasks but scored 64/100 on 72-label Banking77 versus an 87% reference, with a 33.15 ms median per decision on an Apple M4.

Key facts
  • 144.3M parameters, Apache 2.0 weights, CPU and ONNX/WebGPU builds
  • Choice, ordered score, and yes/no decisions over 2–20 options
  • Built on mmBERT-small; not a fine-tuned Qwen model
  • Trails Jev on Banking77 (64 vs 87) despite wins on smaller pilots
  • Cloud GPU training spend about US$104; hosted API not open yet
