01 What happened
Microsoft has introduced the Azure OpenAI Decisions API, a dedicated endpoint at /openai/v1/decisions that evaluates text and images and returns typed answers instead of generating freeform text. The API supports three question types, is currently available only with the gpt-6-luna model, and is rolling out in regions where that model is available, excluding East US 2.
02 Key details
- The Azure OpenAI Decisions API at /openai/v1/decisions returns typed answers (predicate, choice, score) instead of generated text.
- Only the gpt-6-luna model is supported; the API is rolling out to regions where gpt-6-luna is available, excluding East US 2.
- Each request supports up to 400 questions and 128 images (32 MB combined), with Python (3.26.0+) and JavaScript (7.30.0+) SDK requirements.
- Any question can return a refusal without affecting other questions in the same request.
03 Why it matters
The Decisions API enables deterministic classification, routing, and scoring in applications without relying on freeform text generation, reducing complexity and cost for content moderation and triage tasks.
