Key takeaways
- The Decisions API returns fixed choices rather than free-form written answers.
- Input is priced at $0.10 per million tokens.
- CryptoSlate's headline says it can make 100 decisions in under a second.
- Confidence in a given choice and any consequential action still need separate checks.
Google has launched a Decisions API, and it doesn't write replies. It picks from a fixed set of options. The price is $0.10 per million input tokens, according to CryptoSlate's report.
What it does
Most AI models spit out text, and then you've got to parse it. This one skips that chore. You hand it a set of allowed choices and it hands back one of them. The report's headline puts the speed at 100 decisions in under a second.
It's a narrow tool, and that's the point. It classifies, routes and selects. It won't explain itself at length.
The catch
The report doesn't dodge the limits. Confidence in a decision, and any consequential action, still need checks. A fast answer isn't a correct one, and a fixed menu doesn't make the pick any safer. If the model is unsure, you want to know that before anything happens.
Beyond the price and the speed claim, the material I had didn't say much. So I can't tell you which models power it or how confidence gets reported.
Why it matters
For crypto, the obvious fit is automation: trading bots, alert triage, wallet or transaction screening, agents that have to choose between a handful of actions. Cheap, fast, constrained outputs suit those jobs. But money moves on those choices. If you're wiring this into anything that can sign transactions, keep a human or a hard rule between the model's pick and the action. Speed is the easy part. Trust is the hard part.
