Pricing

Every request is billed on two counters: the tokens you send (prompt, system message, conversation history, any attached images) and the tokens the model generates. Output is the pricier side on essentially every model, and reasoning tokens count as output even when you never see them. Prices below are per 1,000,000 tokens.

Billed from your GPUniq balance as you use it — no subscription, no monthly minimum, no per-seat fee. Prices refresh from the live catalog hourly.
