OpenAI Decisions API Enters Public Beta
Original: Decisions API is in public beta
Why This Matters
Granular agent control APIs are becoming a key battleground for AI platform adoption.
OpenAI has launched its Decisions API in public beta, adding a new layer to its agent-building platform. The API sits alongside the Responses API within the company's developer documentation.
OpenAI has moved its Decisions API into public beta, making it available to developers building on the OpenAI platform. The API appears in the developer docs as a peer to the existing Responses API, positioned within a broader agent infrastructure that includes background mode, multi-agent support, mid-turn steering, and conversation state management. The Decisions API is listed under core concepts in the newly structured documentation, which also covers webhooks, streaming, WebSocket mode, and token compaction. The release fits into OpenAI's push to give developers more granular control over how models reason and act within agentic workflows. No pricing details or rate limits are specified in the available documentation excerpt.
