Why the edge:
- Maintenance & community, Gemini Decision 1 +19: Gemini Decision 1 79 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.); Liquid d1 60 (Read for a model, on the decision-model split.)
- Transparency & trust, Gemini Decision 1 +13: Gemini Decision 1 70 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.); Liquid d1 57 (The hosted model is closed under clear terms.)
- Reliability, Gemini Decision 1 +10: Gemini Decision 1 40 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.); Liquid d1 30 (Scored as a hosted model API, the surface an outside agent would call, with the open weights noted.)
- Payments & pricing, Gemini Decision 1 +7: Gemini Decision 1 60 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.); Liquid d1 53 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0).)
