By Steven Van · 2026-10-01

The 27B decider stays at $0.02 per million input tokens, and a new 4B flash model costs $0.01, with both accepting text and images.

Perplexity's Decisions API has a new 27B model, **pplx-decider-v1.2**, which replaces pplx-decider-v1.1-27b. It also gains a smaller 4B option, **pplx-decider-flash-v1.2**. The change is part of the [Perplexity](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/perplexity>) [October 2026 changelog](<https://docs.perplexity.ai/changelog#october-2026>).
