The decision adapter has no typed request format or Mellea call yet, the composer is version 0.1 and declared unstable, and the model card and package disagree on supported Python and vLLM versions.\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### Granite Switch 4.1\n\n1. Pass `chat_template_kwargs: {\"adapter_name\": \"decision\"}` or `\"guardian-core\"`. Without it the request is ordinary chat on the base model\n2. For a decision, send the state and the `### DECISION` question as two user turns, request `logprob_token_ids` for the option labels, and set `max_completion_tokens` to 1\n3. Use single-token option labels. Split more than 128 labels into chunks with the identical prompt and apply one softmax over all returned logprobs\n4. Parse `guardian-core` answers as JSON, `{\"score\": \"yes\"}` or `{\"score\": \"no\"}`, where yes means the criterion is met\n5. Add authentication before exposing the vLLM server. Neither vLLM nor the checkpoint requires a key by default\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. Send images as base64 data URLs, which the guide and the reference both accept. Hosted HTTP(S) URLs are accepted per the reference only, and `file_id` is 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## Tutorials\n\n- [Route an invoice question with OpenAI Decisions](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/openai-decisions-api/), for OpenAI Decisions API\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Granite Switch 4.1 or OpenAI Decisions API?\n\nOpenAI Decisions API scores 73.1 (BB) on agent readiness against Granite Switch 4.1's 59.4 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
