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

OpenAI launched the Decisions API in public beta, a developer endpoint that evaluates text, images, or both and returns yes/no probabilities, picks from predefined categories, or scale-based ratings, running about ten times faster than the Responses API. Only the gpt-6-luna model is supported so far, priced at $0.10 per million input tokens with output tokens free, and OpenAI also cut its paid API tiers from five to three — Build, Launch, and Grow — with monthly usage limits of $500, $5,000, and $200,000. The API supports zero-data retention and HIPAA-compliant use in the US and Europe, targeting use cases such as damage detection in photos, customer inquiry routing, and document classification.

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 https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/decisions 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 https://the-decoder.com/former-openai-researcher-builds-an-ai-model-that-judges-options-instead-of-writing-text/ . OpenAI also cut its paid API tiers https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/rate-limits usage-tiers from five down to three: Build, Launch, and Grow. Organizations move up automatically when their total credit purchases hit the next threshold. Monthly usage limits sit at $500, $5,000, and $200,000.
