Swarooprm7 · x · 2026-11-12
Sundar Pichai announced the Gemini Decisions API, powered by the new Gemini Decision 1 model, live in Google AI Studio. Instead of generating text token by token, it's built for closed-set choices, scoring up to 1,000 questions across text, images, audio, video and PDFs in a single pass.
Key details:
- Three decision types: yes/no, multiple choice (up to 255 options), rubric scoring
- $0.10 per 1M input tokens with $0 billed for output — 5x cheaper than Flash-Lite
- Leads several benchmark evals with the lowest calibration error
Google teams are already building with it; a demo shows Stitch Rapid designing a full product flow in seconds at 1x speed.
