OpenAI announced the Decisions API for its API platform. The company said it could evaluate text, images or both, and that public beta had started with general availability expected later.
OpenAI said the API returned yes or no probabilities, category choices and scale-based ratings. It said the service could be used for damage detection in photos, customer enquiry routing and document classification, and that it supported zero-data retention and HIPAA-compliant use in the United States and Europe.
Only gpt-6-luna was supported at launch, and OpenAI said the price was $0.10 per million input tokens. The company said output tokens were free.
OpenAI also cut its paid API tiers from five to three, naming Build, Launch and Grow. It said organisations would move up automatically when their total credit purchases reached the next threshold, set at $500, $5,000 and $200,000.
