Perplexity Decider 1.2

by Perplexity

Perplexity Decider 1.2 is an open-weight decision model built on a Qwen3.8-27B backbone. It reads text, JSON and images and answers named yes/no, choice and rubric-score questions with probabilities rather than generated prose. Its joint request format can answer related questions about one state in a single pass. Use it for classification, routing, grading and other decisions where nuanced judgments matter more than Flash's lower latency and input price. Related questions can share the state and inform one another; independent candidates should generally be sent separately because grouping can change their scores. Perplexity recommends evaluating accuracy and decision thresholds on your own labeled examples.
