GLiDE (Generalized Lightweight Decision Engine) is a thinking decision model. It evaluates the application state you provide against one or more typed questions and returns structured answers, probabilities, and confidence across outcomes you define. GLiDE costs $0.15 per 1 million input tokens. Output tokens are free ($0). See Pricing for the current inference rates.

Why GLiDE

GLiDE first makes a fast assessment, then spends additional reasoning on uncertain decisions. The same interface works for routine classification and decisions involving arithmetic, code tracing, temporal logic, policy interpretation, or several related facts. Unlike a generative model, GLiDE does not write an answer in free-form text. Your application defines the permitted outcomes and can act directly on the returned probability distribution and confidence.

When to use GLiDE

Use a generative model instead for open-ended writing, conversation, summarization, or code generation.
