System Switch: When Should a Fast Decision Model Stop and Think?
Dual-process agents pair a fast policy with a slow deliberative model.
ProofPaper ↗
Key points
- In real-time settings the slow model usually runs continuously; in turn-based agents and robot planners it is invoked on events such as uncertainty or a detected failure.
- We study a fast learned actor that takes every decision and hands control to a reasoning vision-language model only when a gate opens, while the game keeps running.
- We use closed-loop Doom and the new open "System One" typed-decision models, served through a common llama.cpp interface.
- We release code, prompts, data and logs.
