Google says Gemini Decision 1 scores options without token-by-token decoding, keeping median latency at "150-250 ms end-to-end" across multimodal inputs and contexts up to 16K tokens, and that "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."

The exact words it rests on

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.
