## Summary

Google introduces the Gemini Decisions API, powered by the new Gemini Decision 1 model, for routing, tool selection, safety checks and grading without full text generation. The API evaluates up to 1,000 questions per request, costs $0.10 per 1M input tokens and $0 for output tokens, and accepts one shared input across text, images, audio, video and PDFs. Google's Gemini account says developers have used its Flash-Lite and smaller Flash models as classifiers and calls the new option tinier, faster and more cost-effective.
