Jared Palmer: Kev 4B

Kev 4B is a small open-weight decision model from Jared Palmer, built as a LoRA adapter and pointer head on Qwen3.5-4B-Base and served over the same /v1/systemone contract as TypeSafe's Jev. Send a state and typed questions (yes/no, multiple choice, or score) and it returns a calibrated probability per question in one forward pass, with no generated text. It is the recommended checkpoint in the Kev family (0.8B, 4B, 9B) and is suited for routing, classification, and policy checks that want a compact, Apache-2.0 alternative to Jev.
