# Decisions models

Decisions runs on `POST /v1/decisions`. Pass the model id in the `model` field.

## SPEV

SPEV answers predicate, choice, and score questions about text, audio, or an
image, with a probability for every candidate answer.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Model ID | `spev` |
| Evidence | Text, audio, or one image per request |
| Endpoint | `POST /v1/decisions` |
| Audio | One clip as `input_audio` |
| Image | One `input_image` part across all messages |

One request can ask many questions about the same evidence. Send them together
rather than one request per question.

## How it compares

Several models read the same evidence. Pick by what you want back.

| Model | Returns | Use it when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| SPEV | Typed answers with probabilities | Your code branches on the answer |
| [Symphony Notes](/docs/captioning/models) | Prose describing a recording | You want a description to read or index |
| [Chat models](/models) | Free-form text | You want an open-ended reply |

See the [model catalog](/models) for the live list and [pricing](/pricing) for
current rates.
