They are two days old, need a GPU and `trust_remote_code`, drop Vela's set and span types, and publish no calibration figures.\n\n**OpenAI Decisions API.** Typed predicate, choice and score answers with probabilities, up to 200 questions a call, at $0.10 per million input tokens with no output charge. It is a public beta released on 6 October 2026, with one model alias, no dated snapshot, no Batch route and no SLA found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Decision 3.0\n\n1. Pin a tag or commit with `revision=` when loading from the Hub. Each model had five tagged releases on 10 and 11 October\n2. Send images and videos to `d3_server.py` as base64 data URLs only. The server refuses paths and http URLs with 422\n3. Set `DECISION_API_KEY` before binding the bundled server beyond 127.0.0.1. It is open otherwise\n4. Turn on `permutation_average=True` when routing must not depend on option order. It is off by default\n5. Expect one request at a time from the bundled server. Use the router's model runtime for queued serving\n\n### OpenAI Decisions API\n\n1. Put independent questions about one input in a single `questions` array. Send a separate request when a question depends on an earlier answer\n2. Check each answer's `type` before reading it. A question can come back as `refusal` while the others in the same request are answered\n3. Encode images as base64 data URLs. Hosted URLs and `file_id` inputs are rejected\n4. Give a `choice` question a fallback value such as `other`, and set thresholds from your own labelled examples\n5. Use Python SDK 3.26.0 or JavaScript 7.30.0 or later, and follow `Retry-After` on 429 and 503\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Decision 3.0 or OpenAI Decisions API?\n\nOpenAI Decisions API scores 71.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Decision 3.0's 63.1 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Decision 3.0 leads on reliability, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Which is cheaper for decision models, Decision 3.0 or OpenAI Decisions API?\n\nDecision 3.0, at free against $0.10 per 1M tokens for OpenAI Decisions API.
