Perplexity: Decider V1.3 (free)

perplexity/pplx-decider-v1.3:free

Decider V1.3 is a decision model from Perplexity, succeeding Decider V1.2. Instead of generating text, it reads content passed as state (text, JSON, or images) and returns typed, probabilistic answers to one or more named questions in a single request: the probability of yes for a yes/no question (noul), a probability for every option plus the most likely one (choice, up to 255 options), or a probability for every level of an ordered rubric plus the expected score (score).

It is built for classification, routing, moderation, and rubric grading where application code thresholds the returned numbers rather than parsing a chat reply.

V1.3 also adds locate, served on the Extractions route: it pulls text and list fields out of text state and returns each value with its source span and a confidence. For a smaller, lower-cost option with the same contract, see Decider Flash V1.3.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request without routing.

Performance

Latency is how long it takes to return the full response (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.

API

Drop-in code to call this model. It runs on the OpenRouter Decisions API rather than the OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint, so the request and response shapes below are specific to structured decisions — chat completions SDKs will not work with it.
