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.\n\nEarly 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.","keyPoints":["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."],"whyItMatters":"Decision models let developers replace expensive LLM calls with ultra‑low‑latency, multimodal inference, enabling real‑time applications such as video frame analysis, interactive assistants, and high‑throughput classification, which can lower costs and broaden AI use cases.","category":{"slug":"models","name":"Generative AI & Models","url":"https://digestai.news/category/models"},"entities":{"companies":["OpenAI","TypeSafe","Box","Datadog","Ramp","Speak"],"models":["Decisions API","Jev","D1 Ultra","Elephant-1","Luna"],"people":["Nikunj Handa","Andrew Hsu","Diogo Almeida","Felix Wunderlich"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-22T19:00:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-22T19:45:04Z","sourceCount":2,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"TechCrunch AI","title":"OpenAI makes its Jev competitor widely available as decision model competition heats up","url":"https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/22/openai-makes-its-jev-competitor-widely-available-as-decision-model-competition-heats-up","publishedAt":"2026-10-22T19:00:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true},{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"OpenAI Makes Decisions API Generally Available with GPT-6 Luna","url":"https://unite.ai/openai-makes-decisions-api-generally-available-with-gpt-6-luna","publishedAt":"2026-10-22T19:45:04Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"OpenAI opens Decisions API to all customers, adding voice and visual modalities\", 22 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/openai-opens-decisions-api-to-all-customers-adding-voice-and-visual-mo","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"OpenAI opens Decisions API to all customers, adding voice and visual modalities","datePublished":"2026-10-22T19:00:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/openai-opens-decisions-api-to-all-customers-adding-voice-and-visual-mo"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
