Kev-0.5B is an Open Source, very small decision model by developer Jared Palmer, built on the base model Qwen2.5-0.5B. Instead of generating text, it processes a document together with multiple typed questions in a single forward pass and delivers calibrated probability distributions as answers. It is designed as a LoRA adapter plus small pointer head, offers a TypeSafe-compatible API, and can be fully trained and run locally on a MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon). Weights and model card are freely available on GitHub and Hugging Face.
