Decision Models SF | Demo Night

Join Liquid AI and the San Francisco AI community for an evening dedicated to decision models: purpose-built models that make fast, structured decisions without generating tokens.

Unlike language models that produce free-form text, decision models return calibrated probabilities for outcomes such as

• Noul: Should this action happen?
• Choice: Which option should the system select?
• Score: How should this input be rated?

Not every AI task needs generation. Routing requests, approving agent actions, moderating content, evaluating outputs and inspecting images often require a clear, reliable decision, not another paragraph of text.

Decision models offer a new way to build these systems: predictable structured outputs, calibrated confidence, low latency and zero generated tokens. They can work independently or alongside LLMs as fast decision layers for agents and production applications.

Come learn how they work, explore where they fit in the modern AI stack and see what developers are already building with Liquid's decision model family across text, vision and audio.

Want to showcase your project?

Have you built something using a Liquid decision model? We're looking for production applications, prototypes, experiments, games and creative demos to feature during the showcase.

Selected builders will receive five minutes to demonstrate what they've built, followed by a short audience Q&A.

Apply to showcase: Link
Application deadline: November 1st

Projects must use at least one Liquid decision model. Selected presenters must be able to attend in person in San Francisco.
