💡 Dolphin-Mixtral-8x22b Cost Scenario:

Let's say you're creating a content generation tool and need Dolphin-Mixtral-8x22b to write 5 detailed blog posts. For each post, you provide a 150-word outline and expect a comprehensive 800-word article.

Measurement: Words

Total Input: 150 words × 5 posts = 750 words

Total Output: 800 words × 5 posts = 4,000 words

API calls: 5 (one per blog post)

Plug these numbers into the pricing calculator and you'll instantly know exactly what it costs to generate those 5 blog posts—so you can plan your content budget without surprises.

Understanding Input Types

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI pricing and tokens

A token is the basic unit that AI models use to process text. Think of tokens as "chunks" of text that the AI reads and writes. 1,000 tokens equals approximately 750 words of English text. One token equals roughly 4 characters on average. Tokens can be whole words, parts of words, or punctuation. Different languages may use different numbers of tokens. For example, "Hello world" equals 2 tokens. "AI" equals 1 token. "ChatGPT" equals 2 tokens (Chat + GPT). A typical email contains 200-400 tokens. A blog post contains 1,000-3,000 tokens.
An execution or API call is each time you send a request to an AI model and get a response back. Each call is charged separately. The text you send is counted as input tokens and the text you get back is counted as output tokens
A prompt is the input text you send to an AI model - essentially your question, instruction, or request. You can tailor your prompt to get a certain style of response. For examole you could say "You are a friendly customer service agent, respond to the user's request" followed by the question from the user.
Choosing the right AI model depends on your specific needs, budget, and quality requirements. For simple tasks like summaries or basic questions, use cheaper models like GPT-4o-mini or Claude Haiku. For complex reasoning, use premium models like GPT-4o or Claude Sonnet. For specialized tasks, look for models trained for your specific use case. Test with a few models on your actual use case. Premium models often need fewer retries. Sometimes a cheaper model with a better prompt works just as well. Budget models like GPT-4o-mini and Claude Haiku cost $0.15-0.30 per 1M tokens. Balanced models like GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet cost $3-15 per 1M tokens. Premium models like GPT-4 Turbo and Claude Opus cost $15-75 per 1M tokens.
