- Liquid AI announced d1 with vision, extending its first decision model to accept images, text, or both as inputs.
- Tested against GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 on six real applications (from support ticket triage to circuit board inspection), d1 matches or beats GPT-6.1 Sol on four of them.
- It costs 19x to 200x less than both models and answers significantly faster on every task.
- Technical highlights: outputs probabilities for yes/no, choice, or score questions in a single forward pass without generating tokens; text decisions in 200-300ms.
