WORLDTECHGoogle launches Gemini Decisions API for fast text-and-image choices
What happened
On November 11, 2026, the company introduced the Gemini Decisions API , a new endpoint built for fast, closed-set decisions. Google is a software and Internet company based in Mountain View, and its products and services include Software tools.
It runs on a new model called Gemini Decision 1, identified in code as gemini-decision-1, and is available through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio. Instead of open-ended generation, the API answers questions that have a fixed menu of possible responses.
What the Decisions API actually does Google describes the API as a set of purpose-built primitives for bounded choices. The examples it gives are tool selection, policy checks, model routing and context grading.
Developers can feed the API a single multimodal input. That input can span text, images, audio, video and PDFs, with a ceiling of 256K tokens.
