OpenAI unveils Decisions API, which returns predefined answers with confidence scores, available in limited preview with no pricing details (Frederic Lardinois/The New Stack)

OpenAI’s limited-preview Decisions API signals a move toward faster, more deterministic AI for operational workflows, returning predefined answers with confidence scores in about 150 milliseconds. For CIOs, the strategic value is in automating high-volume, decision-oriented processes with lower latency and clearer uncertainty signals, but the lack of pricing and preview status means IT teams should treat it as an early-stage option that still requires careful evaluation for cost, governance, and fit with existing systems.
