Mankei Reflex is a System One model: a non-autoregressive decision model that takes a state and a set of typed questions and returns typed values with calibrated probabilities — in a single pass, without generating a single token. No prompt to parse, no reasoning prose, no hallucinated text. It runs on-premise, answers in the millisecond range, and speaks German and English.

It is built for the same job as TypeSafe's Jev — routing, guardrails, classification, scoring, agent observability, and real-time decision loops — and it is the first German model of this class, for teams whose data must not leave the building.

At a glance

Why Reflex

The System One category was defined by TypeSafe Jev: a model that decides instead of writing. Reflex takes the same interface and moves it into your own data centre — German first, with domain blocks whose quality is measured before delivery.

We do not benchmark competitors. Every figure below is measured on the block shipped in this repository.

Benchmarks

<p align="center"><img src="karte/massive_en.png" width="100%" alt="MASSIVE: Reflex on the German test split, 60 intents and 18 scenarios in one call"></p> <p align="center"><img src="karte/metrics_en.png" width="100%" alt="Leave-one-schema-out results and calibration"></p>

Leave-one-schema-out means whole question sets are held out of training and only shown at measurement time — the number a customer sees on a new form, a new option list, a new sensor message.

Speed

Reflex answers a whole request in one forward pass: the state, every question and every candidate are laid out in a single sequence with a tree-shaped attention mask, so no question waits for another and nothing is re-encoded. There are no per-question round trips, no token generation and no cache copies — latency is one GPU pass plus the head.

Measured end to end with curl against the running server (bf16, block pilot), on our inference server on 23 September 2026 while the same GPU was serving a 27B language model. This is the fastest decision model we know of, and it runs on your own hardware — a real-time loop for vehicles, drones and browser agents that checks many things at once instead of one after the other.

Use cases

• Vehicle and drone decision loops — situation, persons, obstacles, no-fly zones, weather; rules in code, meaning from the model. See Reflex Pilot.
• Browser and portal automation (RPA without selectors) — Reflex reads the page's element table and returns the index to act on. See Reflex Browser.
• Security operations — incident triage, alert routing, CAN-bus and network intrusion classification alongside our IDS models.
• Document workflows — invoice and receipt routing, account assignment, printed-feature checks.
• Customer service routing — 60-way intent and 18-way scenario in one call, calibrated, in German.
• Guardrails and moderation — typed yes/no with a probability you can threshold.
• Agent observability — score every step of an agent trace: on task, risky, needs a human.
• Situation assessment — robotics, control rooms, field reports, in German and English.

How it works

<p align="center"><img src="karte/architecture_en.png" width="100%" alt="How a decision is made: state, core, questions, decision block, typed answer, rule in code, Schema Factory"></p>

1. State in. JSON or text from your application — a scene, telemetry, a page's element table, a document.
2. One read. The frozen Mankei core reads the state once; every question is answered from that single read. The order of questions and options does not change the answers.
3. Typed answer out. Each question returns its value with a probability; each block carries its own calibration.
4. Your rule on top. Geometry, thresholds, traffic signs, business rules stay in your code — visible line by line in the protocol.

Blocks are trained by the Mankei Schema Factory: generators whose ground truth follows from the modelled world, plus licensed datasets, measured leave-one-schema-out. No chat-model distillation, no synthetic labels from third-party LLMs.

Quickstart

pip install torch transformers safetensors huggingface_hub
huggingface-cli download keyvan-ai/Mankei-Reflex --local-dir mankei-reflex && cd mankei-reflex
python3 -m mankei_decide.server --modell . --kopf bloecke/pilot.safetensors --port 8088

The package contains the core, the engine (mankei_decide/) and the pilot block. States and questions are German — the language the public block is trained on.

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8088/v1/reflex -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "state": {"szene": "Fußgänger 12 m voraus auf der Fahrbahn, quert. Stoppschild in 30 m.", "tempo_kmh": 28, "limit_kmh": 50},
  "questions": {
    "lage":   {"type": "choice", "instructions": "Was ist die Lage vor dem Fahrzeug?",
               "criteria": {"freie Fahrt": null, "Person auf oder neben der Fahrbahn": null, "Hindernis auf der Fahrbahn": null, "Gefahr": null}},
    "person": {"type": "noul", "instructions": "Auf oder neben der Fahrbahn befindet sich eine Person."}
  }}'

from mankei_decide.reflex import Reflex
reflex = Reflex.laden("keyvan-ai/Mankei-Reflex", block="pilot")    # or the local folder
answers = reflex.entscheide(state, questions)      # same state and questions as above, one pass
print(answers["lage"].wahl, answers["lage"].konfidenz, answers["person"].janein)

System One wire format: point SYSTEMONE_URL at http://<host>:8088/v1/systemone; request and response use the System One shape (choice / score / noul).

Blocks

Core, engine and the pilot block form the evaluation package. Premium blocks and custom blocks trained on your own states are available on request under an enterprise agreement.

Demos

• Reflex Pilot — a 3D city, a car on the road or a drone on the direct line. Pick the vehicle, set the target on the map; every judgement appears with a timestamp and probability in the protocol next to the scene. https://mankei.ai/reflex/
• Reflex Browser — Reflex operates a German service portal from the DOM element table, no screenshots, no selectors: login, tabs, filters, form, download. A 16-step mission runs without intervention in under ten seconds at ~38 ms per judgement. https://mankei.ai/reflex/browser/

Who is Mankei

Mankei builds German language models from scratch, in Germany, on openly licensed and documented sources, with its own German tokenizer — and runs them where the data lives. The family: Reflex (decisions), the retrieval line (embedder and reranker, Apache 2.0), Mankei-1B-Chat (German chat, CPU-capable), and the dialect line (Bavarian, Swiss German). All on Hugging Face under keyvan-ai; more at mankei.ai.
