Google launches Gemini Decisions API that scores 1,000 choices without generating text

Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced the Gemini Decisions API on November 11th, 2026, an endpoint powered by the Gemini Decision 1 model that scores up to 1,000 yes/no, choice, and rubric questions in a single pass without generating text. Google priced the API at $0.10 per 1M input tokens with no output charge and said it returns calibrated confidence scores, positioning the endpoint for routing and policy decisions in front of larger models. The announcement was written by Google DeepMind product manager Min Choi and principal scientist Felix Yu.
