OpenAI · Original announcement: 2026-10-22

Decisions API GA

OpenAI says the Decisions API is now generally available with gpt-6-luna, and that teams can cache shared input across requests for prompt-cache discounts. The same update adds images in individual question instructions, input_json support, and up to 400 questions per request, up from 200 in public beta. Source

Who can use it: Now generally available with gpt-6-luna; each request supports up to 400 questions, increased from 200 in public beta.

Keep in mind: This brief only confirms the changelog announcement and listed feature changes; it does not establish performance, cost savings, or customer impact.

Anthropic · Original announcement: 2026-10-22

Agent Skills donation

Anthropic says it is donating Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation, framing the move as a way to keep the standard open, community-driven, and vendor-neutral. For business owners using agent workflows, the practical takeaway is continuity: the format is being placed in a neutral home rather than kept under a single company’s control. Source

The announcement also says more than 70 agent platforms have integrated Agent Skills, and that the next step is a proposed roadmap with versioned releases, a formal proposal process, and security guidance. That suggests a standard moving toward more structured governance, but the post does not claim any performance improvement from the transfer itself. Source

Who can use it: Agent Skills remains available to use and contribute to without joining the AAIF.

Keep in mind: The announcement does not provide a rollout schedule beyond a proposed roadmap, and it does not prove any performance or adoption gains from the transfer.
