AI inference cost is the expense of running machine learning model predictions. As LLMs become embedded in products, inference costs scale directly with usage.

Formula

Cost = (Input tokens / 1000) x Input price + (Output tokens / 1000) x Output price

Tokens: API tokens processed (Count)
Rate: Cost per 1000 tokens (Currency/1K)

Guida passo passo

1Cost = (Input tokens / 1000) x Input price + (Output tokens / 1000) x Output price
2One token is approximately 4 characters or 0.75 words
3Different models vary by 10-100x in cost and capability
