Amazon has launched Strands Decider 2B, a rapid decision-making model for AI agents, made available as an open-source tool. Developed by the Strands Labs team at Amazon Web Services, this model enables fast local decisions with a latency under 150 milliseconds. Built on the Qwen3.5-2B-Base architecture, it is accessible on Hugging Face along with the full source code and training scripts. Amazon’s entry into this segment applies competitive pressure on Anthropic, whose market odds are currently estimated at 30% for October 2026. This initiative could divert resources and attention from Anthropic’s efforts to maintain its leading position in the AI model space.
