Model TypeInput TokensOutput Tokens
StandardPer 1K tokensPer 1K tokens
AdvancedPer 1K tokensPer 1K tokens
What’s a token?
  • Roughly 4 characters or 0.75 words
  • A typical question: 50-200 tokens
  • A typical response: 200-1,000 tokens
Example: 
Question: "What was our revenue last month?" (10 tokens)
Response: Detailed answer with data (500 tokens)
Total: ~510 tokens

​
Compute Usage

Code execution and sandbox usage:
ResourcePricing
Container timePer second
MemoryBased on allocation
CPUBased on allocation
When is compute used?
  • Running Python/JavaScript code
  • Complex data analysis
  • File processing
  • API calls from sandbox
When is compute NOT used?
  • Simple questions
  • Web searches
  • Reading integration data
  • Most typical queries

​
Ways to Optimize Costs

​
Ask Efficiently

Specific questions use fewer tokens than vague ones that require follow-ups.Instead of: “Tell me about our customers” Try: “What’s our customer count by segment for Q4?”
Ask for “brief” or “summary” to get shorter responses.Instead of: “Analyze our pipeline” Try: “Give me a brief pipeline summary in bullet points”
A scheduled report costs less than asking the same question repeatedly.

​
Manage Compute

  • Simple queries don’t need compute
  • Point Adapt to summary tables when possible
  • Batch complex analysis rather than running many times
