At a glance
Google DeepMind has released the Gemini Decisions API for quick, closed-ended choices such as yes/no questions, multiple choice, and ratings. Its underlying model, Gemini Decision 1, can handle up to 1,000 independent questions at once across text, images, audio, video, and PDFs.
Key points
Each answer comes with a probability and a confidence value.
Responses arrive in 150 to 250 milliseconds.
Google says it already uses the API for model routing in Gemini Notebook, design prototyping in Stitch, and safety checks in Google Search.
The price is $0.10 per million input tokens with no output charge, which Google says is about five times cheaper than Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite.
Why it matters
It signals a shift toward AI tools that quickly and cheaply pick fixed answers rather than writing long text. Several companies have released similar models in recent weeks.
