The market for decision-focused AI models has shifted into a multi-player race after TypesafeAI, founded by former OpenAI employee Diogo Almeida, unveiled Jev in September. Unlike text-generating large language models, Jev returns decisions and probabilities from preset choices. OpenAI introduced a limited Decisions API, while AWS open-sourced Strands Decider 2B. Cloudflare launched Clef and Clef Flash, trained on Qwen models, and priced Clef at $0.24 per 1 million tokens.

Alibaba Group has opened two data centres in Brazil, marking its first entry into the South American market, and will offer secure cloud infrastructure and agentic AI services to local companies. Alibaba said Brazilian businesses, startups, developers and public agencies can access its cloud services directly on local infrastructure designed for low latency, resilience and data governance. The company is also expanding partnerships with local technology firms.
