OpenAI Decisions API
Where it stands: OpenAI has shipped a Decisions API that returns typed decisions from a fixed answer list in roughly 150ms on GPT-6 Luna. On October 22 it opened the API to all users after a limited public-availability stage, with speed and feature boosts and an explicitly competitive pitch into the low-cost AI API market. Next to watch: general-access pricing against the Jev and pplx-decider tiers, and whether the Decisions API joins the independent runner.
