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**pplx-decider-flash.** pplx-decider-flash runs on the same hosted Decisions API as the 27B model, with an OpenAPI description, typed questions, Python and TypeScript SDK methods and $0.01 per million input tokens, and its weights are public under Apache-2.0. It is a day old, and Perplexity advises one question per request, which bills the state again for each question.\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### pplx-decider-flash\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer` with `model` set to `pplx-decider-flash-v1.2`. A key in `x-api-key` returns 401.\n2. Send one question per request by default. Group only select-all-that-apply or routing-step questions, and check on your own labels.\n3. Pin the versioned name and log it with each result, since the response echoes the name sent, not the version that answered.\n4. Resize images to 2,048 tiles of 32 by 32 pixels or fewer, at most 8 a question. Larger images end in a 504 after about a minute.\n5. Compare it with `pplx-decider-v1.2` on a labelled sample at your thresholds before choosing it.\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Inspect package damage with Decision3](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/decision-3/), for Decision 3.0\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Decision 3.0 or pplx-decider-flash?\n\npplx-decider-flash scores 67.9 (B) on agent readiness against Decision 3.0's 63.1 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
