QWED (Query With Evidence & Determinism) is a model-agnostic verification protocol for Large Language Models.
Model Agnostic = Your Choice - QWED works with ANY LLM - OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Llama (via Ollama), or any local model. Your LLM, Your Choice, Our Verification.
π Why Model Agnostic?
βTrust, but Verify.β β QWED treats LLMs as untrusted translators and uses symbolic engines as trusted verifiers.
QWED is neutral. We verify ALL models equally - no favoritism, no vendor lock-in.
Cost Flexibility
Choose your LLM based on your needs:
| Tier | Monthly Cost | LLM Options | Best For |
|---|
| Local | $0 | Ollama (Llama, Mistral, Phi) | Students, Privacy-focused |
| Budget | ~$5-10 | GPT-4o-mini, Gemini Flash | Startups, Prototypes |
| Premium | ~$50-100 | GPT-4, Claude Opus | Enterprises, Production |
Same verification quality, your choice of cost.
Privacy & Compliance
- Local LLMs = Data never leaves your infrastructure
- Perfect for: Healthcare (HIPAA), Finance (PCI-DSS), Government
- Run on-premise, maintain full control
What is QWED?
QWED (Query-Wise Engine for Determinism) is the verification protocol for AI. It provides deterministic verification of LLM outputs using symbolic engines like Z3, SymPy, and AST analysis.
Why QWED?
| Problem | QWED Solution |
|---|
| LLMs hallucinate math | Symbolic verification with SymPy |
| LLMs break logic | SAT solving with Z3 |
| LLMs generate unsafe code | AST analysis + pattern detection |
| LLMs produce SQL injection | Query parsing + validation |
Quick Start
# Install the Python SDK
pip install qwed
# Verify math
qwed verify "Is 2+2=5?"
# β β CORRECTED: The answer is 4, not 5.
# Verify logic
qwed verify-logic "(AND (GT x 5) (LT y 10))"
# β β
SAT: {x=6, y=9}
