The Decisions API costs 0.10 USD per million input tokens, and output tokens are free

independently confirmed updated 2 h ago

The Decisions API from OpenAI costs 0.10 USD per million input tokens; output tokens are free. In public beta, it evaluates text and images using the gpt-6-luna model and returns yes/no probabilities, categories, or ratings on a scale.

The Decisions API costs 0.10 USD per million input tokens, and output tokens are free. The API offers three response types: yes/no probabilities, selection from predefined categories, and ratings on a scale.

OpenAI launched the API in public beta for evaluating text, images, or a combination of the two. It currently supports only the gpt-6-luna model. According to OpenAI, it converts inputs into responses of a fixed type approximately ten times faster than the Responses API. The Decoder reports that general availability is expected to follow soon.

According to OpenAI, possible uses include detecting damage in photographs, automatically routing customer queries, and classifying documents. The Decoder also reports support for zero data retention and HIPAA-compliant use in the USA and Europe.

What changed

Why it matters

Developers gain an API for tasks that should produce a specific category or rating. Charging only for input tokens allows costs to be estimated based on the volume of material being assessed. For business deployment, verifying decision accuracy is essential; the reported speed increase alone does not demonstrate the quality of the results.

Two audiences, two different impacts

What this means

01

For individuals

When designing an application, a developer can choose a yes/no probability, a category selection, or a rating on a scale according to the needs of the specific task. During the public beta, they are limited to the gpt-6-luna model.

What to do Try the response type that matches the task in your application during the public beta.

02

For a business

Companies can evaluate the API for routing customer queries and classifying documents. The costs of these processes will depend on the volume of input tokens; output tokens are not charged.

Processes
What to decide Before integrating it into customer support, verify routing accuracy on a sample of queries.
