OpenAI's Decisions API allows custom confidence scoring for model outputs

OpenAI has introduced a new Decisions API that allows users to specify a confidence score threshold for model outputs. This feature enables developers to control the level of certainty required for a model's response, preventing it from outputting information it deems to have a low probability of being correct. The API's scoring mechanism can be rounded, potentially leading to the model assigning a 0% score to certain outputs. AI

IMPACT Enables developers to fine-tune model output confidence, potentially improving reliability in specific applications.
