OpenAI launches Decisions API for faster, lower-cost AI tasks
Designed for classification, routing, and other tasks with bounded answers, it supports text, images, structured inputs, and up to 400 questions per request. OpenAI reports up to 10x faster responses compared with GPT-6 Luna through the Responses API.
Mistral releases Voxtral 3 models for real-time voice agents

OpenAI adds 12-hour prompt caching to its API
Developers can now keep shared prompts cached for at least 12 hours, reducing costs when reusing context across requests. Cache writes cost 2.5 times the normal input price, so savings depend on how often the cached content is reused.
MiniMax releases M3.1 Flash for coding and AI agents
According to MiniMax, the new model delivers nearly 3x faster inference and 70% lower task costs than its predecessor. It targets coding, computer use, and multi-step agent workflows, and is available through the API and coding tools.
