Decisions API from OpenAI adds voice and image support

independently confirmed updated October 22, 2026

OpenAI has made Decisions API available to all customers and added voice and image support. According to the CTO of Speak, the service reduced the wait between actions from 1.4 to 0.13 seconds. The limit has increased to 400 questions per request.

OpenAI has made the public version of Decisions API available to all customers, with support for voice and images. The service is designed to make quick decisions among specified options. The company has also distributed computing resources geographically to reduce latency across regions.

According to OpenAI, the service uses the ChatGPT Luna model, optimized for faster inference and lower costs. Andrew Hsu, CTO of Speak, said that using the service reduced the wait between actions from 1.4 to 0.13 seconds. This is the result of a specific deployment at a company developing language-learning assistants, rather than a guaranteed latency for all tasks.

The changelog from OpenAI lists general availability with the gpt-6-luna model. The limit has increased from 200 to 400 questions per request compared with the public beta. Shared input can be cached across requests to take advantage of prompt-cache discounts, instructions for individual questions can include images, and structured data can be passed directly through input_json.

What changed

Why it matters

For applications that repeatedly choose among several options, shorter waits could speed up subsequent actions, for example during voice-based tutoring. The result at Speak demonstrates a concrete benefit in one deployment; speed and suitability for other tasks need to be verified using data from those tasks.

Two audiences, two different impacts

What this means

01

For individuals

The higher limit allows developers to combine a larger set of questions into a single request and pass structured data directly through input_json during integration.

What to do Try passing structured data through input_json using a small set of your own questions.

02

For a business

Companies running interactive assistants have another option for reducing the wait between steps. For shared input used repeatedly, they can also take advantage of prompt-cache discounts; the sources do not substantiate specific savings.
