OpenAI opens Decisions API to all customers, adding voice and visual modalities
OpenAI made its Decisions API model generally available on Thursday, after announcing it at developer day on September 29. The API offers a fast, cheap decision‑making model that can classify options and return confidence scores. It is built by reconfiguring ChatGPT Luna, shrinking inference latency from “one to three seconds” to “100, 120, 180 milliseconds” and adding voice and visual modalities.

Key points from the news
- OpenAI released the Decisions API to all customers on Thursday, after a September 29 developer‑day announcement.
- The API, built on reconfigured ChatGPT Luna, runs inference in 100‑180 ms (down from one‑to‑three seconds) and adds voice and image support.
- Box, Datadog, Ramp and Speak report latency cuts, with Speak dropping action time from 1.4 s to .13 s.
Early trials with Box, Datadog, Ramp and Speak show the API can replace standard LLM calls. Speak’s CTO Andrew Hsu said the latency dropped from 1.4 seconds to .13 seconds. OpenAI also used the model to speed up its Dots voice assistant. TypeSafe, the startup behind the Jev model that sparked the decision‑model category, is valued at $7.6 billion and still leads OpenRouter queries. Benchmarks place OpenAI’s Decision Model eighth on the AIM System One Index and fourteenth on the Artificial Analysis Decision Index, while its latest Jev model tops the JevMan PacMan test. Handa envisions future speeds of around 60 milliseconds for per‑frame video analysis.
