The post-trained Qwen3.5-9B model is available through Microsoft Foundry and OpenRouter. Microsoft reports the highest accuracy across 36 blind benchmarks, roughly 35 times lower P50 latency than GPT-6 Sol and input pricing of $0.042 per million tokens.</p><p><strong>Why read: </strong>A low-cost calibrated decision model separates routing, guardrails and agent control from generation.</p><p>Recommendation: TRIAL</p><p>Sources: <a href="https://commandline.microsoft.com/microsoft-decision-1-model-foundry/">Introducing Microsoft-Decision-1, our model for fast decision-making</a></p>
