Description

What it is and what it is for

AI-assisted draft · independently checked

Many software tools need to sort things into categories, such as whether a product photo shows damage, which department should handle a message, or how serious an issue is. In machine learning this is called classification: a system looks at an input and predicts which category it belongs to. The OpenAI Decisions API is a programming interface that evaluates text, images, or both and returns typed answers: the probability that a condition is true, a choice from a fixed set, or a score against a rubric. The maker describes its purpose as classifying content, routing requests, and prioritizing work in an application. Developers use it by sending a request to a "create a decision" endpoint, and the documentation says gpt-6-luna is currently the only supported model.
