Google DeepMind launches Gemini Decision 1 for rapid, low-cost question evaluation

Google DeepMind has introduced Gemini Decision 1, a new API designed to evaluate up to 1,000 closed-ended questions in a single pass. This model can process multiple data types including text, images, audio, and video. Gemini Decision 1 reportedly offers results within 150 to 250 milliseconds and is priced approximately five times lower than Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. AI

IMPACT This new model could significantly speed up automated decision-making processes and reduce costs for AI applications requiring rapid question evaluation.
