OpenAI launches Decisions API

OpenAI has introduced the Decisions API, an endpoint that classifies text and images to output yes/no probabilities, category selections, or scale ratings. Priced at $0.10 per million input tokens, the service is reported to operate approximately ten times faster than the standard Responses API. Claims are as reported; this summary makes no determination about accuracy or significance.

Why it matters

A dedicated, low-cost classification endpoint enables developers to offload discrete evaluation and filtering workloads from general text-generation endpoints, lowering operational latency and inference expenses. The reduction in paid API tiers will also impact how enterprise teams manage subscription limits and capacity planning on the platform.

Coverage

Primary/vendor sources vs independent reporting

Primary / vendor source: information published directly by the company, organization, government body or project involved. Useful as a primary source, but not independent confirmation.

Independent reporting: reporting or analysis from a source independent of the organization making the underlying claim.
