PurpleMIST-Flash-1.0
Frontier-level decisions from a model 200× smaller.
PurpleMIST-Flash-1.0 is our frontier decision model. Give it a message, ticket, record or transcript and any number of typed questions about it, and it returns a calibrated probability for every possible answer in a single pass, in English and eight African languages.
The problem it solves
Most of what software decides about text is a set of small, typed questions: which team owns this ticket, is the customer asking for a refund, how urgent is it. Teams usually send each one to a huge general-purpose model, pay for every token, parse whatever comes back, and get a confident answer with no sense of how sure the model really is.
PurpleMIST answers all of those questions at once, scores every option directly instead of writing text, and tells you how likely each answer is. It does this as well as a 1.6-trillion-parameter model on African-language input, on a single 24 GB GPU.
The numbers
African languages: accuracy and probability quality
Across eight African languages it sits level with DeepSeek-V4-Pro on accuracy while landing far to the left on KL, meaning its probabilities are much closer to the reference.
English, zero-shot
On LocalLLaMA/typed-decisions, without training on its train split, it scores 0.720, ranking 2nd for KL and Brier among the zero-shot models listed.
Highlights
Matches a model 200× its size
It ties DeepSeek-V4-Pro (1.6T) at 0.720 on LocalLLaMA/typed-decisions (English, zero-shot), scores 0.668 against its 0.669 on African Typed Decisions, and leads on Pidgin, Somali, Swahili and isiZulu.
Probabilities you can trust
On African Typed Decisions its answers sit about 5× closer to the reference distribution than DeepSeek-V4-Pro’s (KL 0.214 vs 1.125), with calibration error (ECE) of 0.049.
Every question in one pass
Ask any number of choice, yes/no and score questions about the same state. Options are scored from their own text, so you can change them per request.
Built for African languages
Trained on 86,134 decisions in Amharic, Hausa, Igbo, Pidgin, Somali, Swahili, Yorùbá and isiZulu, alongside English.

Best for
- Routing and triaging support tickets, chats and emails in English and African languages.
- Compliance, moderation and KYC checks where you need a probability, not just a label.
- Replacing chains of prompted LLM calls with one fast pass that answers every question together.
- Self-hosted decision APIs on a single 24 GB GPU, served over the System One request shape.
