Baseten's Mammoth-1 and Elephant-1 now available on AI Gateway for free

Baseten’s 27B and 9B decision models can classify, route, and score text with returned probabilities, giving agent workflows explicit thresholds for automation or review.

Source Summary

Baseten’s **Mammoth-1 is 27B** and **Elephant-1 is 9B**. Both decision models accept up to **16k tokens** and return choices, probabilities, and scores for classification, routing, or criteria-based evaluation.

Practical Implication

Use them where an agent needs a constrained decision rather than free-form prose. One request can ask multiple question types, while the application sets probability thresholds for automatic action versus human review.

Free AI Gateway access was limited through **October 27**. The ranking claims come from two different decision indexes, so their number-one placements should not be treated as a direct head-to-head comparison.

This narrows model selection from general generation to constrained, probabilistic decisions suitable for routing, classification, and review gates. The 27B and 9B options create a size choice, but separate ranking indexes do not establish which is better. Applications must define thresholds and escalation policy, and the temporary free access supports evaluation rather than a durable cost assumption.
