About
Winnow is EldanRing's family of open-weight local decision models built on Gemma 4. Each answers typed noul, choice, and score questions against a shared state by reading answer-token logits without generating text, and also serves ordinary chat and image input from the same loaded model through a llama.cpp-based server with /v1/systemone and /v1/chat/completions. Released September 2026 as GGUF files under Apache 2.0.
