OpenAI launches Decisions API that reduces complex evaluations to yes, no, or pick one.

AI brief

OpenAI launched a Decisions API that classifies text and images about ten times faster than the Responses API, returning yes/no probabilities, category choices, or scale ratings at $0.10 per million input tokens. OpenAI also reduced its paid API tiers from five to three.

Why it matters: It gives developers a faster, cheaper way to run classification tasks through OpenAI's API.
