buildOne report1 publisher Cloudflare and AWS have followed TypeSafe's Jev with Clef and Strands Decider 2B, small models built to pick an agent's next tool or step. The pitch is a smaller token bill, though the practitioners dev.to cites say calibration and the cost of a wrong pick decide whether any saving survives.

OpenAI launched its Decisions API on October 6, three weeks after startup TypeSafe's cheap classification model Jev went viral with developers. Both chase the routine judgments a business automates by the thousand, where cost per decision decides what is worth doing.

buildConfirmed4 publishers OpenAI's Decisions API answers yes/no, pick-one and scale questions for $0.10 per million input tokens, with output free. Jev sells the same three question types for text at less than half that, so OpenAI's case rests on image input and compliance terms.

buildOne report1 publisher OpenAI and AWS shipped their own decision models within two weeks of TypeSafe AI's September 15 launch of Jev, according to a dev.to account. For routing work, the comparison with an LLM call turns on whether a decision model's probabilities are calibrated.

buildConfirmed3 publishers llama.cpp merged a /v1/systemone endpoint on October 2 that returns typed answers with probabilities from five open model families running locally. Whether it can replace hosted classification calls depends on calibration that each team has to measure on its own data.
