Perplexity CEO Arav Srinivas announced the open-sourcing of Decider v1.3 and Decider Flash v1.3, free on OpenRouter for a week.
- New "locate" capability: describe what to find and the model returns matching text with character offsets, useful for batch decision + evidence/entity extraction.
- Benchmarks: significantly outperforms the best general extraction model on 17 out-of-domain NER, PII and extractive QA tasks; on 63 production classification tasks, v1.3 is 6.54 points more accurate than current classifiers.
- Weights are open on Hugging Face.
