It is in public preview. No licence, model-specific retention statement, rate limit or deprecation policy was found, and the Foundry route needs an Azure deployment and an Entra token. Latency and accuracy figures are Microsoft's claims.\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### Microsoft-Decision-1\n\n1. Use OpenRouter's Decisions method, not an OpenAI chat-completions SDK. OpenRouter says chat completions SDKs will not work with this model\n2. On Foundry, send the request to the deployment's /providers/microsoft/v1/systemone path with a Microsoft Entra token for https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default, not an API key\n3. Take the deployment name from the Foundry quickstart before the first call. Microsoft says to confirm the route and authentication header, and the pages reviewed do not give the name\n4. Keep each request within OpenRouter's 32,768-token context and send only fixed options, since the model is not intended for open-ended generation\n5. Measure latency and calibration on your own labelled cases before relying on Microsoft's latency and 'nine times out of 10' statements\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## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Microsoft-Decision-1 or pplx-decider-flash?\n\npplx-decider-flash scores 67.9 (B) on agent readiness against Microsoft-Decision-1's 38.8 (E), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Which is cheaper for decision models, Microsoft-Decision-1 or pplx-decider-flash?\n\nMicrosoft-Decision-1, at free against free for pplx-decider-flash. These are the vendors' published prices for the job.\n\n### Do Microsoft-Decision-1 and pplx-decider-flash need an API key?\n\nMicrosoft-Decision-1 takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. pplx-decider-flash needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Microsoft-Decision-1 and pplx-decider-flash without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Microsoft-Decision-1. pplx-decider-flash has a hosted endpoint at https://api.perplexity.ai/v1/decisions.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/microsoft-decision-1-vs-pplx-decider-flash.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/microsoft-decision-1-vs-pplx-decider-flash.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"microsoft-decision-1\", \"b\": \"pplx-decider-flash\"}`.
