Four days ago we released THX-02, an open 4.5B decision model. You send a state (text, JSON or images) and typed questions; it returns a calibrated probability for every option you give it, and it writes a short thought first only when a question needs reasoning.
In those four days, more than 100,000,000 tokens went through THX-02 on our API. THX-02 also reached #1 in Zero-Shot Classification on Hugging Face. Here is what people built, with no names, just the shapes of the problems.
Developer tools and AI agents
The biggest group by far.
- Pull-request review in CI. For every diff: does it expose a secret? For the PR description: does it claim something the code doesn't do, include unrelated changes, or contradict its tests?
- Guardrails for coding agents. Does this command violate the policy, and did the user actually ask for it? Is a "done" claim backed by evidence? Is this session's learning worth saving to memory?
- Routing. Which tool to call first, which use case a request belongs to, when to hand off to a human.
Decision models fit here because the answer must be one of a fixed set, fast, and come with a confidence you can threshold.
Documents, law and the public sector
- Italian fact-checking: who speaks a quote, and whether a claim is supported by the passage.
- Italian long-document Q&A: does any line answer this rule, and where.
- Italian land and permits: landscape constraints and planning rules for solar.
- French public procurement: would a company with this profile bid on this tender.
- Indian GST bookkeeping: which ledger, asset or expense, and whether input tax credit is blocked.
- Job postings: 15 fields per posting, from region and seniority to visa sponsorship.
Marketing, support and vision
- Landing-page copy and UX screen audits, mostly with thinking on.
- Support ticket triage in English, Chinese and Azerbaijani.
- Receipts, tables and charts; video frames for sponsored-product visibility.
And the unexpected
An AI techno DJ asking which color, melodic and rhythm layer to bring in for the next 16 bars. A game studio choosing which recorded voice line replaces the hero's. An agent walking through a maze.
What we learned
- Decision models shine as checkers inside other systems: review, guardrails, moderation, routing. That's where confidence was highest (0.93 to 0.98 on average).
- People bring long, real inputs: diffs, legal documents, transcripts. Most tokens came from texts of several thousand tokens.
- They are honest about what they can't do. Numeric estimation (calories) and spatial puzzles got low confidence, which is the right behavior for a calibrated model, and a clear target for the next version.

We believe AI should be built for everyone and with everyone. Thank you to everyone who integrated THX-02 in its first week.
