Summary

Fastino Labs released GLiDE, which it calls the first decision model that thinks. It ranks #1 on the Decision Index, 6.9 points ahead of the runner-up. GLiDE uses adaptive thinking: it first computes a fast probability distribution over answers and only reasons further when the top answer is uncertain.

Key points

• GLiDE is a decision model from Fastino Labs.
• It ranks #1 on the Decision Index, 6.9 points ahead of the next model.
• Adaptive thinking: it first computes a fast probability distribution over possible answers.
• It switches to reasoning only when the leading answer is uncertain, which saves compute on easy decisions.
