A Typed Decision Lane for Agents

OpenClaw now documents a separate decisionModel role so plugins can ask bounded questions and receive structured probabilities instead of prose.

typed answer forms: choice, score, boolean

documented model references across ONNX, Jev and Kev

30s

maximum host deadline for a provider request

$0.042

Jev input price per million tokens

Speed claim, drawn as stacked blocks

1xLLM baseline

up to 200xSystem One-shaped queries

Each orange segment represents 10x; the published range is 40x to 200x faster for the same decision-shaped workload.

How a plugin uses it

State→Rubric questions→Provider→Typed probabilities

Why builders like it

Routing, risk gates, triage and evals become explicit typed calls that code can threshold and audit.

What still needs care

Current plugins are candidate-stage, version-gated and still require validation because probabilities are not accuracy guarantees.
