Decisions API is in public beta

OpenAI's Decisions API is in public beta, per a Hacker News submission that links to the OpenAI API documentation at developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/decisions. The submission carries the title "Decisions API is in public beta" and a publication timestamp of October 6, 2026. The linked page is titled "Decisions | OpenAI API" and sits under the API guides section of OpenAI's developer documentation. The source text supplied alongside the submission is dominated by the documentation page's embedded CSS, including component layer declarations, border and background variable references, code snippet styling, syntax highlighter letter-spacing and font-size rules, and header layout properties. It contains no substantive prose describing what the Decisions API does, which endpoints it exposes, what models it uses, what it costs, or what limits apply. Because the excerpt does not state those details, this digest does not characterize them. What the source does establish is that a Decisions guide exists in OpenAI's API documentation and that the API is described as being in public beta as of the submission date. Developers following the link would land on that guide page.
