Understanding Credit Consumption

How Credits Work

  • • Each message to an AI model consumes a specific number of credits
  • • More advanced models typically cost more credits per message
  • • Credits are consumed only when you send messages, not for idle time
  • • Different models offer varying capabilities and context lengths

Choosing the Right Model

  • • Consider your budget and usage frequency
  • • Evaluate required capabilities (multimodal, reasoning, etc.)
  • • Check context size limits for your use case
  • • Test different models to find the best fit
