Intended uses include routing, tool selection, evaluations, guardrails, memory, context management, policy classification, and hybrid agents. HN Discussion Commenters asked whether decision models support multimodal inputs, including calibrated answers about whether shapes match, and suggested many possible automation and classification uses. Others asked about CPU performance and noted that the model works well for on-device bulk filtering, including email classification in a browser through WebGPU. 3 [7.0] OpenAI launches a faster typed-classification API, but commenters find it slower, costlier, and less capable than competitors. The API could make low-latency multimodal classification practical, but buyers should compare its calibration, latency, cost, and reliability with smaller competing models. ai 210 pts 101 comments Source (developers.openai.com) HN thread Archive Copy Article OpenAI introduces the Decisions API, a public-beta endpoint for evaluating text, images, or both with typed predicate, choice, and score answers. Examples cover multiple SDKs and languages, and pricing is listed at $0.10 per million input tokens with no output-token charges. Commenters highlight the roughly one-million-token context window and image support, but question calibration, missing context-length documentation, lack of caching, subscription access, and whether decision routing should be built into general models. Comparisons with Jev and Mercury Decide commonly describe Decisions as slower, more expensive, or less capable in preliminary tests, although some report sub-200-millisecond latency and note that image input is a meaningful differentiator. HN Discussion Commenters broadly interpret the launch as OpenAI following Jev and the growing market for small, fast decision models. Supporters note multimodal input, a large context window, low latency, typed outputs, and potential uses such as UI selection, image inspection, game control, voice delegation, and local or hosted classification workflows.
