HEAD TO HEAD
Yuichi Tateno (hotchpotch): bekko-system-one and Contrastive-LM: clm, compared on what they decide, where they run, what they cost and what their publishers report.

| Summary | Ultra-small English encoders (17M, 68M and 395M) fine-tuned from Ettin rerankers. Each answers choice, noul and score questions with a probability per candidate and no generated text. Experimental v0 by one developer; the weights have no licence assigned yet. | Contrastive Language Models score a state against a set of candidate actions with a contrastive objective. Two projection heads on frozen Qwen3-8B embeddings, trained with InfoNCE; clm-serve maps Choice, Score and Noul onto candidate ranking. |

Figures are from each model’s manifest; accuracy and latency are what the publishers report, on their own suites and hardware. Add a third model.
bekko-system-one is from Yuichi Tateno (hotchpotch) and clm from Contrastive-LM. Both have open weights you can download and run. Both answer choice, noul and score questions. Only clm answers rank, classify and route. bekko-system-one is the smaller model, at 395M parameters to 8.0B. bekko-system-one is licensed other; clm, apache-2.0.
Neither publishes an accuracy figure. Test both on your own labelled examples.
bekko-system-one: Free (open weights). clm: Free (open weights). Open weights cost nothing per call beyond your own hardware.
Yes, both: systemone pull hotchpotch/bekko-system-one and systemone pull contrastive-lm/clm download the weights.
