The week of 5 to 10 October 2026 on Anchor Terminal

## 1. Decide. The big labs ship decision models

OpenAI opened its Decisions API in public beta on 6 October, at $0.10 per million input tokens on gpt-6-luna [[1]](#ref-1).

**Impact.** A month ago a decision model was a startup's bet.

On the site: [the decision model shortlist](/best/decision-models/), [every head-to-head](/compare/decision-models/), and the new listings for [Microsoft-Decision-1](/tools/microsoft-decision-1) and [Drex 1.5](/tools/nace-drex).

## 2. Declare. Agents get a draft standard for who they work for

Sierra announced the Personal Agent Protocol with Meta, Genesys, Instinct, Rocket, Shopify, Stripe and Walmart on 6 October [[5]](#ref-5), and the first draft went up on 9 October [[6]](#ref-6).

**Impact.** Today a company can't tell your agent from a scraper.

## 3. Depart. Google moves its coding agents to Antigravity

Google stopped selling new Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise subscriptions on 9 October.

**Impact.** If an agent or a script runs Gemini CLI with a Google sign-in, it's been failing since June.

## Also this week

- DeepSeek V4 Flash was retired on Novita AI on 9 October, replaced by V4.1 Flash, and DeepInfra redirected three models to newer ones. Each is on [Sunsets](/sunsets/) [[10]](#ref-10).
- Hume's TTS and EVI APIs close on 13 November 2026, five weeks from now. [Hume EVI](/tools/hume-evi) lists the alternatives.
- New head-to-heads include [Clef against Microsoft-Decision-1](/compare/cloudflare-clef-vs-microsoft-decision-1) and [Microsoft-Decision-1 against OpenAI's Decisions API](/compare/microsoft-decision-1-vs-openai-decisions-api).
