Gotchas

  • Use provider model ID "perplexity/pplx-decider-v1.3", not the LLMReference slug "pplx-decider-v1.3".
  • creator/model-name e.g. kwaipilot/kat-coder-pro-v2
  • The examples expect AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY; rename it only if your application config maps the new variable.

About pplx-decider-v1.3

pplx-decider-v1.3 is Perplexity's 27B multimodal decision model, released November 12, 2026 as the successor to pplx-decider-v1.2 on the Qwen3.8-27B backbone, with open weights under Apache 2.0. Instead of generating text it returns probabilities: it reads a state of text, JSON or images and answers named yes/no (noul), choice and score questions in one pass, each question isolated from the others. v1.3 adds locate questions, which extract verbatim text spans from the state with character offsets and confidence scores.
