OpenAI makes Decisions API widely available amid decision-model competition

OpenAI has made the Decisions API available to all customers, expanding access to its decision model as competition grows around TypeSafe’s Jev. Instead of using a model trained specifically for decision-making, the product reconfigures ChatGPT Luna to speed up inference and reduce costs. Nikunj Handa, OpenAI’s API product lead, told TechCrunch that latency fell from one to three seconds to between 100 and 180 milliseconds.

The public version also includes voice and image capabilities. In initial trials with Box, Datadog, Ramp and Speak, engineers used the API to replace OpenAI’s language models and increase throughput. OpenAI also used it to make the Dots voice assistant more responsive. Public rankings remain mixed: OpenAI’s model trails alternatives such as Liquid’s D1 Ultra and Base Lab’s Elephant-1 on two indices cited by TechCrunch, while the latest Jev model remains competitive.
