Decision models are a new class of AI model purpose-built for structured decisions. Instead of generating text token by token, a decision model evaluates a situation and returns calibrated probabilities across a fixed set of outcomes in a single call with zero generated tokens.

Classification & Routing

Intent detection, ticket routing, content moderation, and triage.

Scoring & Rating

Urgency scoring, quality assessment, LLM-as-judge replacement.

Binary Gates

Safety checks, guardrails, extraction validation, yes/no decisions.

Multimodal

Visual inspection, image classification, voice-command routing.

Primitives

Every question you ask a decision model uses one of three types:
  • Noul: A yes/no question that returns a probability between 0 and 1. “Is this message spam?” might return 0.92.
  • Choice: A pick-one-from-many question that returns a probability distribution over named options.
  • Score: A rate-on-a-scale question that returns a probability-weighted position on an ordered rubric.

When to Use Decision Models

Decision models are a good fit when the answer is a structured decision: classification, categorization, routing (tickets, emails, requests), scoring, triage, content moderation, guardrails and safety checks, LLM-as-judge replacement, agent tool-call approval, and model routing or cascades. With image input, the same primitives support visual inspection, image classification, and decisions based on screenshots. With audio (d1-omni-600M), they support voice-command routing and spoken-intent detection. Use a language model instead for free-form text generation, creative writing, multi-turn conversation, complex multi-step reasoning, open-ended Q&A, summarization, and code generation. To move existing LLM calls to a decision model, see the Decision Model Guide.
