Decisions API
A GPT-6 Luna-powered endpoint that picks among a developer-defined set of answers in ~150ms instead of generating free text.
Overview
OpenAI announced the Decisions API in limited preview at its September 29, 2026 DevDay, built on a specialized version of GPT-6 Luna focused on bounded, real-time decision-making. Rather than generating free text, the endpoint takes a context (text or image) plus a closed list of developer-defined answer options and returns the most likely option with a confidence score, for classifying content, routing requests, or choosing an agent's next action. OpenAI reports the specialized Luna variant returns a classified answer in roughly 150 milliseconds, versus about 1.6 seconds for a standard Luna call. On October 8, 2026, OpenAI opened the Decisions API in public beta on GPT-6 Luna, with pricing of $0.10 per million input tokens and no charge for output tokens. On October 22, 2026, OpenAI moved it to general availability with GPT-Live voice integration, prompt caching, JSON and image inputs, up to 400 questions per request, US and EU regional processing, and Zero Data Retention for eligible customers.
