OpenAI launches Decisions API for faster, structured AI classifications · 10 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [13 sources] · 2026-10-06 22:12

OpenAI has launched its new Decisions API, designed for rapid classification of text and images into structured outputs like yes/no probabilities, category choices, or scale ratings. This API is reportedly up to 10 times faster than the Responses API and is priced at $0.10 per million input tokens, with no charges for output tokens. The Decisions API aims to streamline common AI agent tasks such as routing inquiries, selecting tools, or evaluating input severity, differentiating itself from traditional generative APIs by focusing solely on decision-making outputs. AI

IMPACT This API could streamline AI agent development by providing faster, structured decision-making capabilities, potentially reducing costs and improving efficiency for classification-heavy tasks.

RANK_REASON This is a product launch for a specific API from OpenAI, not a core frontier model release.
