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.
How are image tokens calculated?
Images are tokenized based on resolution: Low: 85 tokens, Medium: 170 tokens, High: 255 tokens, Full: 765 tokens per image. Some models (like Llama 4 Maverick) use tile-based encoding with 1,610 tokens/image (standard) or 8,050 tokens/image (high-res).
What is the YemHub AI Calculator Tool?
The YemHub AI Calculator is the most comprehensive tool for estimating costs and comparing performance metrics across 44+ AI models. It calculates token-based pricing, analyzes multimodal processing, accounts for state-dependent pricing (context cliffs, tiered tunnels), and provides optimization recommendations.
