OpenAI's Decisions API Is Now Live for Everyone — and It Was Built to Catch a Startup

-
Image
  Most AI answers arrive as essays. OpenAI's new Decisions API doesn't write a word — it answers yes or no, picks from your categories, or scores on your rubric, in 100 to 180 milliseconds. It went generally available this week, and the backstory is the best part: OpenAI's own product lead, Nikunj Handa, reportedly admitted the product wasn't on the roadmap four weeks ago. A small startup forced the sprint. Yes or no, in 100 milliseconds The API runs on GPT-6 Luna. Developers send text or images plus typed questions and get machine-readable answers in three shapes: a probability that a condition is true, a pick from a fixed list with a probability for each, or a score on rubric levels you define. Input costs $0.10 per million tokens, and output tokens are free. It launched as a public beta on October 6 (after a limited DevDay preview in late September), and the general release adds voice and visual input plus geographically targeted inference.

Replit Dumps Anthropic for OpenAI: ChatGPT Is Now the Default Behind Replit Agent

Replit just made one of the boldest model swaps in the AI coding wars. Speaking onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt on October 15, 2026, CEO Amjad Masad said the company is "no longer working with Anthropic." Over the weekend, he clarified what that means in practice: OpenAI's ChatGPT is now the default model powering Replit Agent.


What actually changed


According to Masad, OpenAI is now Replit's "preferred partner for powering Replit Agent, based on performance, economics, and the strength of our partnership." Anthropic's Claude models are still selectable inside Replit Agent, and Masad insists "Replit remains model agnostic." But the default slot — the one most users never touch — now belongs to ChatGPT.


Why Replit made the switch


Masad gave three reasons: cost, partnership, and performance. On cost, he was blunt, writing on X on October 17 that "OpenAI models are generally more affordable." On performance, he said Replit's internal VBench benchmark plus a public benchmark show OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol and Astra models "perform better on building vibe-coded applications from scratch." His summary: "I think ChatGPT is better now."


The nuance: Claude isn't gone


A person familiar with the relationship disputed that it ended, saying the partnership is still in place — and the paper trail backs up a softer landing. A late-September Replit blog listed Claude Fable 5 and 5.1 in production, and the October 16 changelog added Claude Haiku 5.5 in Power Mode for Core and Pro users. The accurate summary: OpenAI won the default slot and the "preferred partner" title; Claude stays on the menu.


Why it matters


Replit was, until recently, one of Anthropic's top-five customers. Since most users never change the default model, this switch could significantly cut Replit's spending with Anthropic — and redirect it to OpenAI. In the model wars, defaults are destiny: whoever owns the default owns the usage, the spend, and the feedback loop. Replit announced its OpenAI partnership back in August 2026, but nothing public had suggested the Anthropic relationship was ending, which makes the abruptness of this move its own signal.


Our take


This is less a breakup than a demotion with very expensive consequences. Anthropic keeps a seat at the table, but OpenAI now sets the menu — and in AI coding, the default model is the product





Anthropic just gave Claude two new models

AI Tools Every Accountant Should Use in 2026

Accountants don't lose time to math — they lose it to the pile around the math: receipts nobody sent, transactions nobody coded, client emails that need three follow-ups, and tax questions that eat an afternoon. AI won't replace the judgment call, but in 2026 it takes the pile off your desk. Here's the stack that earns its keep. Start with the ledger: QuickBooks or Xero Both big ledger platforms went all-in on AI this year. QuickBooks Online ships with Intuit Assist bundled into every plan — it auto-categorizes transactions, drafts invoice reminders, and on the Plus plan and up adds AI-powered bank reconciliation. After Intuit's August 2026 price increase, plans run $38 to $340 a month. Xero answers with JAX — auto bank reconciliation in open beta, Smart Document Capture that reads invoices into the ledger, and a chat that answers questions from your own books. Xero also raised prices October 1 (Early $27, Growing $59, Established $97), but every plan includes unlimited...

Top 5 Best AI Video Generation Tools in 2026

A year ago, making a video meant cameras, editing software, and hours of work. Today? You type a sentence and AI generates the footage. I've been testing video generators for my own projects, and honestly, the results blew my mind. Here are the 5 best AI video generation tools in 2026 — the ones I'd actually recommend to a friend. 1. Runway Best for: Professional-quality video with editing control Runway is the tool the pros actually use. I generated a product-style clip from a single image and the motion looked genuinely cinematic. What sets it apart is control — you can edit specific parts of a clip, extend videos, and fine-tune styles. If you're serious about AI video, start here. Price: Free credits to start; paid plans from $15/month. Try Runway → 2. Pika Best for: Fast, fun clips — great free tier Pika is where I tell beginners to start. It's fast, it's playful, and the free tier is genuinely generous. I made a stylized 5-second clip f...

7 Best AI Website Builders in 2026

Putting a website online used to mean paying a developer thousands or wrestling with a blank template for a weekend. Now: describe your business in a sentence or two, and an AI website builder hands you a finished site — pages, copy, images, contact form — in minutes. The seven actually worth your time — real pricing, no fluff. The 7 AI website builders that matter 1. Wix — the polished all-rounder. Its AI chat (plus the Aria agent) interviews you and builds the site with you, then refine it in the drag-and-drop editor. Free plan (with Wix ads); paid from $17/mo Light, $29/mo Core, $39/mo Business. Best if you want everything under one roof and room to grow. The catch: you can never move a Wix site to another host. 2. Hostinger — the budget king. From $2.99/mo intro (renews ~$10.99/mo): hosting, free domain, SSL and the AI builder in one bill — nobody beats that price. Designs are clean, less fancy than Squarespace. Best if money decides. 3. Squarespace — the design snob's pick. Go...
