In this lesson: Assess what confidence scores do and do not establish.

Read the story

Google announced Gemini Decision 1 on November 11 for evaluating predefined options through its Decisions API. A single request can include up to 1,000 questions.

The model returns probabilities and confidence scores instead of decoding an answer token by token. Those scores can help software route ambiguous cases to a human reviewer; they do not guarantee that every decision is correct.
