Gutsy: 0.8B open decision model that runs on CPU
A 0.8B open decision model (Qwen3.5-0.8B fine-tune, Apache 2.0) returning calibrated yes/no, choice and score probabilities, served as a 775 MB GGUF on an ordinary CPU.
Why it matters
Decision-model capabilities with no hosted dependency or per-call cost: fully local, deterministic, state-cached, and user data never leaves the machine.
What you could build with it
A startup building on-device copilots could embed Gutsy as a local approval gate — deciding whether an agent action is safe to run — keeping the judgment loop private and free instead of paying per call to a hosted decision API.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge — the repository was created hours ago with a single star; the reported calibration error (0.021) is author-reported and no independent evaluations exist yet.
