Perplexity Decider Flash 1.2

by Perplexity

Perplexity Decider Flash 1.2 is an open-weight decision model based on Qwen3.5-4B and distilled from Perplexity's larger decision models. It reads text, JSON and images and answers named yes/no, choice or rubric-score questions with probabilities. It returns decisions rather than generated prose or explanations. Use it for high-volume classification, routing and filtering when software needs a numeric answer it can compare with a threshold. Flash is designed for one question per request: on multi-question requests it processes and bills the state again for each question. Perplexity recommends validating accuracy on your own labeled examples, especially for nuanced judgments. The model card says training used sequences up to about 32K tokens, with longer contexts spot-checked rather than broadly validated.
