OpenAI launches Decisions API for fast, low-cost AI classification

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI has introduced a new Decisions API designed to address the latency and cost issues associated with using large language models for simple classification tasks. This API leverages the lightweight Luna model to provide rapid, cost-effective discrete classifications, enabling developers to optimize automation pipelines and agentic workflows. By constraining outputs to predefined options, the Decisions API offers high-speed probability distributions, which are crucial for tasks like agent steering, tool delegation, and high-volume image categorization.
