Gemini Decision 1 scores options without token-by-token decoding, keeping median latency 50-100 ms of model compute (150-250 ms end-to-end), across multimodal inputs and contexts up to 16K tokens, remaining nearly flat from 1 to 100 questions per request. With zero output tokens billed, Gemini Decision 1 with the Decisions API is nearly 5x cheaper across the shared benchmark suite than Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite with the Interactions API.
Native multimodal evaluation across three decision types in one pass
Built on Gemini’s native multimodal architecture, Gemini Decision 1 can process text, images, audio, video, and PDFs directly in a single forward pass. You can combine modalities in one shared input, such as pairing a call recording with account metadata or a scanned PDF claim with damage photos, and tune resolution on image and video inputs to control visual detail and token cost.
You can evaluate multiple questions against that shared input in a single request, mixing yes/no checks, multiple choice, and rubric scores. Every answer includes a confidence score (from 0 to 1) so your code can route ambiguous cases to a fallback or human reviewer:
- noul (Yes/No): Estimates the probability that a yes/no condition holds, with optional true and false description criteria.
- choice (Multiple Choice): Selects from 2 to 255 choices, returning the winner and normalized probabilities for every candidate.
- score (Ordered Rubric): Grades inputs across an ordered rubric (starting at 0), returning a continuous weighted score and per-level probabilities.
The input field uses the same Content block format as the Interactions API. Here is how to check a photo of a breakroom counter, together with a text note, against all three question types in one request:
