Send `Authorization: Bearer`. A key in `x-api-key` returns 401 on this endpoint.\n2. Pin `pplx-decider-v1.2` and log it with each result. Old names and aliases route to newer versions, and the response echoes the name sent.\n3. Revalidate thresholds set on v1.1. The v1.2 card says it gives different answers to v1.1-style requests.\n4. Group questions that are facets of one decision. Send independent candidates, such as documents or tools, in separate requests.\n5. 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.\n6. For the weights, use the repository's `pplx_decider` package. The card says default causal inference does not reproduce the checkpoint.\n\n### kettei\n\n1. Send `context` and `decisions` to `POST https://api.sqwish.ai/v1/decide` with a bearer key. Leaving out `model` gets `kettei-core`, which reads text only\n2. Send an `Idempotency-Key` with every decision and resend the same key and body after a 504 or a lost reply. Replays aren't charged\n3. Branch on `error.code` and `error.retryable`, not the status. Wait for `Retry-After` on 429 and retryable 503s\n4. Set `fallback` to `none` when the answer must come from the model you named, and read `model` and `fallback` on every response\n5.
