✨ How recommendations work (v8.6.0): We scan all active models in the registry and only include those that support ALL your current inputs. For token-based models, we check if they can handle your token counts. For special pricing models (OCR, video, audio), we verify they have the correct pricing structure. Features marked requested were in your inputs but not supported by that model. Now using official provider pricing without reseller markups.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are these AI model cost calculations?
Our calculations are based on official pricing from each provider (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, xAI, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral) and are updated regularly. We account for all factors including multimodal inputs, caching discounts, batch API pricing, tool usage multipliers, OCR processing, audio minutes, silence fees, and research mode pricing. Note: Reseller markups and dedicated instance multipliers have been removed to reflect official provider pricing.
How does audio billing work?
Audio models are billed by token, not by minute. Voxtral Small 24B costs $0.10 per 1M input tokens and $0.30 per 1M output tokens, matching Mistral Small 3. GPT Realtime Mini uses standard token billing. There are no silence keep-alive surcharges or per-minute duration fees on either provider.
How does prompt caching work?
Caching discounts vary by provider: Google and OpenAI offer 90% discounts on cached input tokens. Anthropic uses write (1.25x) and read (0.10x) multipliers. Savings are applied to the token portion only, not unit-based fees.
How do Market Recommendations work (v8.6.0)?
Our recommendation engine scans the entire model registry and only includes models that support ALL your current input parameters (tokens, images, video, audio, OCR, tools, batch API, etc.). It calculates exact costs with your settings and sorts by price, showing you the best value options that can handle your complete workflow. Special pricing models (OCR, video, audio, image generation) are properly handled and only appear when their specific input types are requested. v8.6.0 removes reseller markups (20% buffer) and dedicated instance multipliers to reflect official provider pricing.
What is the YemHub AI Calculator Tool?
The YemHub AI Calculator is the most comprehensive tool for estimating costs and comparing performance metrics across 50+ AI models. It calculates token-based pricing, analyzes multimodal processing, accounts for state-dependent pricing (context cliffs, tiered tunnels), provides optimization recommendations, and now offers intelligent market matching to find the best alternatives for your specific needs.
