Microsoft Decision-1: decision models for cheap AI routing and agent orchestration
usamawahabkhan · x · 2026-10-12
The post introduces Decision Models, a new category that skips lengthy text generation and instead picks from predefined options—handling classification, routing, prioritization, verification, workflow control, and agent orchestration with fast, structured answers apps can consume directly (e.g., routing a ticket to Sales/Support/Billing).
It highlights Microsoft's Decision-1 as a step toward scalable, cost-effective Agentic AI: enterprises no longer need an expensive reasoning model for every decision, but a dedicated model to decide which agent runs, which tool to call, and which workflow to trigger.
