Decision models are suddenly everywhere. OpenAI’s is now public.

This week, OpenAI opened its Decisions API to public beta and added image inputs to make fast decisions from visual content. 

First announced last week as a likely response to TypeSafe’s Jev, OpenAI is now billing its decision model at $0.10 per 1M input tokens. There are no output-token charges, nor charges for cache reads or writes. 

Running on GPT-6 Luna, the public beta version gives all developers the ability to turn text or images into three types of structured outputs: predicates (i.e., how likely something is to be true), choices (i.e., which predefined option is the best fit), and scores (i.e., where an input falls on a numeric range). 

But OpenAI’s Decisions API may be but one fish in a sea of decision models. Perplexity, Cloudflare, and Amazon also dropped their own versions this month, opting for open-weight models that developers can download and run on their own infrastructure. 

In a new video, OpenAI shows how image inputs can help applications take quick action based on visual understanding. 

It offers the example of a video game with a car moving through traffic. Using frames of the road and obstacles, Decisions API can choose whether the car should switch lanes or keep driving. 

OpenAI claims its API can make those decisions in a fraction of the time a reasoning model would take to do the same.

Zooming out, the AI company hints at what this visual understanding could enable if developers pair the API with basic computer-use tasks, like taking screenshots and quickly choosing the next action.
