OpenAI launches Decisions API and Luna classification model

What happened.OpenAI released the Decisions API alongside Luna, a lightweight model specialized for discrete classification and intent routing that returns responses in sub-second latency. The API requires developers to supply a fixed list of allowable output options in the request payload. The model is constrained to return only choices from the supplied list, bypassing free-form JSON generation.
Why it matters.Complex agent workflows spend meaningful latency and compute validating structured outputs from frontier models. Offloading routing, guardrails, and intent categorization to a constrained classification model removes schema repair loops and cuts latency across multi-step pipelines.
