✨ 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.

Speed for Agents

Gemini 3 Flash is the fastest multimodal model for processing live video streams. o3-mini is the fastest model for logical reasoning and structured JSON output. If your agent needs to ‘see,’ use Flash. If your agent needs to ‘think,’ use o3-mini.

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 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).
How is video pricing calculated?
Video processing uses either token-based billing (263 tokens per second) or duration-based billing for video generation models like Veo ($0.15-0.75 per second depending on resolution). 60fps content may incur a 25% surcharge.
How does audio billing work?
Audio models use duration-based billing (minutes) rather than tokens. Voxtral Realtime: $0.006/min, Async: $0.003/min. Silence/keep-alive fees apply for GPT Realtime Mini at $0.30/1M tokens. Diarization adds $0.002/min, context biasing adds $0.01 flat fee.
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.
