Several vendors launch 'decision' models that return typed answers

Key points

• OpenAI's Decisions API takes three request types and costs $0.10 per million input tokens, with no output charge.
• Perplexity claims 94.5% accuracy on Decision Bench across 1,071 cases, at $0.017 per 1K decisions.
• Cloudflare's clef-omni accepts audio, video, image and text, and its weights are on Hugging Face.
• Unsloth released a free notebook that turns Qwen3.5-4B into a decision model on 8GB of VRAM.

Why it matters for marketers: Teams running classification, routing or scoring steps can compare typed single-pass models against free-text calls on cost and latency.
