OpenAI launches Decisions API that reduces complex evaluations to yes, no, or pick one

OpenAI announced two updates to its API platform. The new Decisions API evaluates text, images, or both, running about ten times faster than the Responses API. It's in public beta now, with general availability coming soon. Only gpt-6-luna is supported so far, at $0.10 per million input tokens. Output tokens are free. The API handles three response types: yes/no probabilities, picks from predefined categories, and scale-based ratings. Use cases include damage detection in photos, automatic customer inquiry routing, and document classification, OpenIA says. It supports zero-data retention and HIPAA-compliant use in the US and Europe. The Decisions API is likely OpenAI's response to the mini-trend of "decision models" that Jev kicked off in mid-September. OpenAI also cut its paid API tiers from five down to three: Build, Launch, and Grow.
