# Vercel's AI Gateway adds Liquid AI's d1 decision model

Vercel integrated Liquid AI's d1 decision model into its AI Gateway, per vercel.com; d1 scores typed questions against shared state and returns structured, probability-based answers without generating text tokens, with added vision support for image-based queries.

## What else the source says

- d1 returns structured answers with probabilities, not generated text tokens
- d1 supports vision input for typed questions about images
- d1 is accessible via AI SDK decision API, HTTP API, OpenAI-compatible Decisions API, and TypeSafe-compatible API
- Example use case: checking whether a support agent issued a refund

## Why it matters

Skipping text generation could cut latency for classification tasks.
