OpenAI has opened its Decisions API to the general public, bringing its decision model into a market where competition is heating up. The release adds voice and visual capabilities, giving developers more ways to use the model beyond text. OpenAI is positioning the model against Jev, described as the original Jev, as rivals compete in this emerging category. The API’s pricing is based on input tokens, at 10 cents per 1 million tokens. There are no charges for output tokens. That pricing structure could make the cost of using the service easier to estimate, particularly for applications that generate lengthy responses. The launch marks a broader push to make OpenAI’s decision technology available to users and developers.
