Baseten on October 29, 2026 released joey-1, a 2B-parameter decision model developed by its in-house research lab Base Labs. The model is priced at $0.01 per million tokens. It is available through Baseten Model APIs and as open weights on Hugging Face.

Key details

  • Model: joey-1
  • Developer: Base Labs, Baseten's in-house research lab
  • Parameters: 2B
  • Price: $0.01 per million tokens
  • Access: Baseten Model APIs and open weights on Hugging Face
  • Release date: October 29, 2026

Family context

With joey-1, the Base Labs decision model family now spans three sizes. The new model joins mammoth-1 (27B) and elephant-1 (9B), which were part of the family release on October 21.

What this means

joey-1 is the smallest of the three Base Labs decision models, at 2B parameters, compared with 9B for elephant-1 and 27B for mammoth-1. Publishing it as open weights on Hugging Face alongside hosted access through Baseten Model APIs gives developers two ways to use it: self-hosting the weights or calling the managed API at $0.01 per million tokens.
