Large Decision Models: Repurposing Large Language Models as Single-Pass Decision Makers

Ziyi Chen, Yan Zhang, Jianhui Wei, Jianing Yin, Daoan Zhang

Trains a language model to score labels supplied at inference in one forward pass, without generating a reasoning trace. Distills label distributions from repeated teacher reasoning and studies routing uncertain decisions back to explicit reasoning.

Internalized reasoning — Learn from worked solutions so that some or all of the reasoning can later happen without writing those steps. Training may use a separate teacher model or progressively remove written steps from the model being trained.
