Jue

Jue (决) is an open-weight decision model for cybersecurity. You send it a security artefact, such as an alert, a process tree, a log line, a CVE description, an IAM policy, a Kubernetes manifest or a tool call that an AI agent wants to make, together with a few typed questions about it. Jue returns a calibrated probability for every possible answer. All the questions are answered in a single forward pass, and no text is generated.

It is meant for SOC and detection engineering work, alert triage, threat intelligence and MITRE ATT&CK mapping, vulnerability management (CVE, CWE, CVSS, VEX), cloud, identity and Kubernetes security, DevSecOps and supply-chain checks, compliance questions, and guardrails for agents that call tools. The model has 2.5B parameters (MiniCPM5-2B plus a LoRA adapter), runs on a single GPU or on Apple silicon, handles English and Chinese, and implements the Jev /v1/systemone protocol.

Jue-Flash is a smaller 350M encoder that is faster but handles fewer kinds of question well. Both models are described in the technical report (中文). Project page: jue1.dev.

Jue meets three of the eight release criteria we set before its final training run. It answers "none of these" too often on open-set questions where the answer is in fact listed, it is under-confident on benchmarks it has not seen, and it is much better at choosing among options than at working a rule through to the end. Section 5 has the details.

2. Examples

We wrote these fifteen scenarios for this card; none of them comes from a benchmark. Each request was sent to the released model through the included server, and the table shows the answers and probabilities it returned, wrong ones included. Jue gets 23 of the 31 questions right, and gets every question right in 8 of the 15 scenarios. The request files are in examples/.

3. Intended use

• Security operations: ordering triage queues, enriching alerts, checking detection rules, reading process trees and logs, mapping to ATT&CK. The scores are for deciding which work goes to which analyst; they should not be treated as final verdicts.
• Vulnerability and exposure management: CVE to CWE mapping, severity and reachability questions, prioritisation.
• Cloud, identity and configuration security: whether a policy, role binding, firewall rule or manifest allows an action.
• DevSecOps and supply chain: dependency, provenance, CI trust and merge questions.
• Guardrails for AI agents: the code that runs the agent loop can ask which tool to call, whether to call one at all, and whether a tool's result answers the request.

Jue is not suitable for free-text generation, blocking or enforcing on its own, legal advice, offensive security, questions whose answer is not in the state (such as whether a CVE will be exploited), or finding bugs across a whole repository.

4. Evaluation

We converted each benchmark into typed questions and took the highest-probability option as the answer, so there are no parsing failures. Where the conversion changes the task, the result is marked as not comparable to published leaderboards.

Benchmark	Jue	Comparable to published
SecQA v1 / v2	.973 / .940	yes
VulDetectBench task 1 / 2	.921 / .864	yes
SECURE CWET / KCV / MAET	.741 / .826 / .763	yes
CyberMetric 10000 / 2000 / 500 / 80	.735 / .753 / .760 / .812	yes
CTIBench MCQ	.515	yes
CTIBench RCM (CVE to CWE, listed options)	.723	no
AthenaBench rcm-open (open CWE, 1,391 ids)	.5515	yes
CMMLU computer security	.672	yes
SecBench MCQ, Chinese	.814	no (subset)
BFCL-v4 irrelevance / live-irrelevance	.863 / .724	yes
When2Call	.836	yes
JevBench public / hard	.783 / .577	public items only
SecAlertBench (750 sample)	.433	no

On the same items of 131 external tasks, Jue-Flash scores higher than Jue on 14 and ties on 4 (technical report, section 5.2).

5. Limitations

1. Release criteria: the final training run improved tool-use decisions and several of the newer security domains, but met only three of the eight criteria fixed beforehand. Jue is the last model from this project, and it did not pass every check.
2. Over-abstention: when an open-set CWE question's candidates include the answer, Jue still answers "none of these" about 28% of the time.
3. Regressions: Windows security-descriptor (SDDL) access checks and prerequisite API calls, such as an authentication call that must come first, are worse than in the previous model.
4. Calibration: well calibrated on familiar formats (ECE ≤ .02), under-confident on unfamiliar benchmarks by .057 to .068. Read probabilities on new formats as conservative.
5. Rule execution: yes/no questions that need a rule evaluated completely (reachability, privilege, dependency, merge eligibility) are answered clearly worse than choice questions on the same states.
6. Alert triage: on SecAlertBench Jue calls 354 of 527 benign alerts attacks. Fit a threshold on your own alerts before filtering on it.
7. Code: repository-level code walking and deep logic-bug finding do not work.
8. On CVSS arithmetic, analyst triage grades and whether a vulnerability will be exploited, its predictions stay near the majority class.

6. Bias and risk

Jue has learned how public specifications work, which may differ from how your organisation's own policies are meant to work, and a wrong "allowed" can hide a real exposure. Set thresholds, and send uncertain cases to an analyst or a deterministic checker. The model is intended for defence and was not trained to write exploits, payloads, evasion techniques or phishing content.

7. How to use

huggingface-cli download Jue1Dev/jue --local-dir jue
huggingface-cli download openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B --revision 12a3808a956f869c767195e9266b59c4d21d92e2 --local-dir /tmp/jue/minicpm5-2b
cd jue && pip install -r requirements.txt
python serve.py --base /tmp/jue/minicpm5-2b --adapter adapter --calibration calibration.json \
  --dtype float16 --device cuda:0 --model-version jue-1.0.0 --release-date 2026-10-29 --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/systemone -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @examples/edr_process_tree.json

The calibration file stores a fingerprint that includes the base model's path at fitting time, so keep the base model at /tmp/jue/minicpm5-2b. On Apple silicon use --device mps; --device cpu also works. Served in fp16 on Apple silicon, the probabilities differ from the evaluation run by at most 0.0056, and the top answer was the same on every question we checked.
