Announced at the company’s developer day on September 29, the Decisions API became available to all customers on Thursday.

What happened

OpenAI made its Decisions API available to all customers on Thursday, adding voice and visual modalities and geographically targeting inference resources to reduce latency. The API uses a reconfigured ChatGPT Luna rather than a specially trained decision model; customer Speak reported cutting time between actions from 1.4 seconds to .13 seconds. Competing models ranked higher on two public decision model benchmarks.
