On October 17, 2026, Perplexity's Decider V1.2 decision model launched on Vercel AI Gateway. Vercel developers can now use perplexity/pplx-decider-v1.2 for complex agentic workflows and perplexity/pplx-decider-flash-v1.2 for ultra-fast decisions. Aravind Srinivas reposted the news. Earlier the same day, reports said Perplexity had open-sourced two decision models, pplx-decider-flash-v1.2 and pplx-decider-v1.2: the former has 4B parameters and costs 1 cent per million tokens, and is called the strongest 4B model on the HF Decision Index; the latter has 27B parameters and costs 2 cents per million tokens, and ranks 2nd on the overall HF Decision Index leaderboard. Both are now available on the Perplexity Decisions API and offer open weights on Hugging Face. Perplexity Developers said this generation of open-weight multimodal decision models improves both text and vision scores, delivers inference up to 5 times faster, and completes all questions in a single request in one forward pass.
