Models & Research
Google’s Gemini Decisions API Makes AI Choices Faster and Cheaper — Google’s new Gemini Decisions API evaluates up to 1,000 questions across text, images, audio, video, and PDFs in one pass. It returns choices or scores with confidence estimates for tasks such as model routing, policy checks, and content grading. Google reports typical response times of 150–250 milliseconds, with pricing at $0.10 per million input tokens and no output charges.. Google AI ↗
My takeaway: According to Artificial Analysis's Decision Index, Gemini Decision 1 scores 66, roughly matching Jev 1.14. Jev 1.14 is still faster and cheaper, but what interests me about this decision model is its support for video and PDFs. That opens up a wider range of use cases.
Google’s Tabletop Turns Group Ideas into Shared Planning Tools — Google Labs introduced Tabletop, an experiment that turns links, files, and ideas into interactive tools such as trip itineraries, polls, and expense splitters. Groups can customize a shared space and collaborate in real time through an invite link. Google AI ↗
My takeaway: This seems useful for group brainstorming and could help the group work more productively. It's currently rolling out via a waitlist for U.S. adults.
Policy & Society
