OpenAI makes its Jev competitor widely available as decision model competition heats uptechcrunch.com/2026/10/22/openai-makes-its-jev-competitor-widely-available-as-decision-model-competition-heats-up/
OpenAI released its **Decisions API**, a fast, cost-efficient alternative to LLMs, to all users, competing with TypeSafe’s Jev model. The API, derived from ChatGPT Luna, reduces inference time to **100–180 milliseconds** and is already adopted by companies like **Box, Datadog, and Speak** for high-throughput tasks. Early tests show **Speak cut response times from 1.4 to 0.13 seconds**, while OpenAI improved its **Dots voice assistant** with the model. Benchmarks favor **Liquid’s D1 Ultra and Base Lab’s Elephant-1**, but Jev leads in adoption and excels in **PacMan-style decision-making tests**. OpenAI’s model stands out for **multi-modal capabilities**, including image classification, though speed optimizations could unlock real-time applications like **per-frame video processing**.
