SKD WIREMostly True
OpenAI has introduced a Decisions API that it says can speed up AI decision-making by up to 10 times, a headline claim that holds up against the company's official materials, though the figure omits the conditions under which the gain applies.
The new API, announced through OpenAI's official product pages, is designed to help developers build more responsive applications by offloading judgment-type tasks — such as approvals, routing and rule-based checks — to a faster decision path rather than a full model response.
Promotional materials published on OpenAI's official page CDN describe the product as enabling "more responsive apps," positioning the 10-times speedup in AI judgment as the headline benefit for developers integrating the interface.
The "10x faster AI judgment" figure, as stated in the headline, is presented without the qualifiers attached to it in OpenAI's fuller announcements. The broader speedup claim is not contradicted by the official announcement or supporting materials, but the magnitude of the improvement depends on specific usage conditions that the short-form claim leaves out. Readers evaluating the figure should therefore treat it as a best-case scenario rather than a universal baseline.
As of this writing, independent benchmark figures beyond OpenAI's own materials were not available to corroborate the speedup independently.
The claim of a 10-times improvement in AI judgment speed is therefore judged Mostly True.
