Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai today, November 11, 2026, announced the launch of a new artificial intelligence product. Posting on X, Pichai stated, "Today we’re launching the Gemini Decisions API, powered by our new Gemini Decision 1 model in. Instead of generating text token by token, it’s built for closed-set choices scoring up to 1,000 questions across text, images, audio, video + PDFs in a single pass. A few details: - 3 decision types: yes/no, multiple choice (up to 255 options) + rubric scoring - $0.10 / 1M input tokens with $0 billed for output tokens (~5x cheaper than Flash-Lite) - leads on several benchmark evals with lowest calibration error Google teams are already building with it, below is a look at Stitch Rapid designing a full product flow in seconds (1x speed)".
The launch comes as the artificial intelligence sector sees rapid growth and increasing competition. Recent Gokhshtein Media coverage highlighted an AI Infrastructure Firm reaching $40 million in revenue with only 16 staff, signaling a booming startup environment. Additionally, Joe Weisenthal noted that the Anthropic IPO was multiple times oversubscribed, indicating strong investor appetite for AI companies.
Pichai's announcement of a competitive pricing model, at $0.10 per 1 million input tokens and free output tokens, suggests Alphabet aims to capture market share by offering a cost-effective solution for AI decision-making. The company claims the Gemini Decisions API leads on several benchmark evaluations with low calibration error, positioning it as a powerful tool for developers and enterprises seeking efficient, accurate AI models for closed-set choices.
