The cost of using the models depends on the operating mode and the number of tokens for different consumption types:

• Input query tokens.
• Output model response tokens.
• Cached tokens, if certain information is re-used without additional computation, such as instructions for a model.
• Tool tokens provided to the model as a result of invoking any tool.

Caching is enabled automatically where possible and applicable. Caching is not guaranteed and does not apply to output tokens.

Tool tokens include all uncached tokens stored in the message history at the time the tool's results were transmitted. Tool tokens are calculated only for AI Studio built-in tools and do not apply to the results of custom functions. Use of tools is charged separately.

Dedicated instancesDedicated instances

The cost of operation of a dedicated instance depends on the model and selected configuration. Dedicated instances are charged per second with rounding up to a billing unit. However, there is no charge for hardware maintenance and model deployment time.

Prices are shown for 1 hour of use. Billing occurs per second.

The price per 1 unit for a dedicated instance is $0.0083327856 without VAT.

Model fine-tuningModel fine-tuning

At the Preview stage, you can fine-tune models free of charge. A fine-tuned YandexGPT Lite model will cost the same as the basic YandexGPT Lite model.

Text tokenizationText tokenization

The use of tokenizer (TokenizerService calls and Tokenizer methods) is free of charge.

Text vectorizationText vectorization

The cost of text vectorization (getting text embeddings) depends on the size of the text submitted for vectorization. Yandex Cloud Billing breaks down the creation of embeddings in vectorization units. One unit equals one token.

Model	Price per 1,000 tokens, without VAT
Embeddings	$0.0000827869

Example of cost calculation for text vectorization

The cost of vectorizing a text of 2,000 tokens will be:

• $0.0000827869: Cost of processing 1,000 tokens.
• $0.0000827869 / 1,000: Cost of processing one token.

2,000 × ($0.0000827869 / 1,000) = $0.0001655738

Total: $0.0001655738.

Text classificationsText classifications

The cost of text classification depends on the classification model you use and the number of tokens you provide.

• When classifying with YandexGPT Lite, a billing unit is a request of up to 1,000 tokens.
• When classifying with YandexGPT Pro and fine-tuned classifiers, a billing unit is a request of up to 250 tokens.

Requests with less than one billing unit are rounded up to the next integer. Large texts are billed as multiple requests with rounding up.

For example, classifying a text of 770 tokens with YandexGPT Lite will be billed as a single request, i.e., as one billing unit.
The same 770-token text classified with YandexGPT Pro or a fine-tuned classifier will be billed as four requests.

Service	Price, without VAT
1 request (1,000 tokens) to classifier based on YandexGPT Lite	$0.0012499998
1 request (250 tokens) to classifier based on YandexGPT Pro	$0.0012499998
1 request (250 tokens) to tuned classifier	$0.0012499998

Image generationImage generation

The use of image generation models is charged for each generation request. Requests are not idempotent; therefore, two requests with the same settings and generation prompt are considered as two separate requests.

Service	Price, without VAT
1 request for image generation	$0.0182786856

Image recognitionImage recognition

Each successful request for image recognition performed using any recognition model is charged as a single pricing unit:

• If your request includes multiple images or a PDF file consisting of multiple pages, each image or page will be charged separately.
• If you send two requests to recognize text on the same image, you will be charged two billing units. This makes sense when a text is written in languages from different language models (for example, Arabic and Hebrew).
• Only successful analysis attempts are chargeable. You will not be charged if the server returned an error or the request configuration was incorrect.

Service	Price per unit, without VAT
Printed text recognition	$0.0010827867
Table recognition	$0.0099999984
Document recognition (passport)	$0.0058196712
Document recognition (driving license)	$0.0058196712
Document recognition (vehicle registration certificate)	$0.0058196712
Handwriting recognition	$0.0124590144
License plate recognition	$0.0010827867

Voice agentsVoice agents

The cost of using voice agents consists of the following:

• Cost of speech recognition (incoming audio).
• Cost of speech synthesis (outgoing audio).
• Cost of text generation using the Speech Realtime model.
• Cost of tool invocation.

Service	Price per unit of tariffing, without VAT
Incoming audio, per 1 second	$0.0002163934
Outgoing audio, per 1 second	$0.0001663934

Example of cost calculation for a voice agent

• Voice agent use case: support bot with knowledge base search.

  Dialog with support bot:

  Client:
  Hi there!

  Bot (answers as per the instruction without access to the knowledge base):
  Hi there! What can I do for you?

  Client:
  I can't log into my personal account.

  Bot (answers as per the instruction without access to the knowledge base):
  I see. Just to clarify: is there an error message, or does login just not work?

  Client:
  It says the password is incorrect.

  Bot (answers as per the instruction without access to the knowledge base):
  Alright. In this case, first try to recover your password using the Forgot your password? button on the login page.

  Client:
  I tried, but I didn't receive the email. What should I do?

  Bot (answer generated based on the knowledge base):
  I will now instruct you how to proceed in this situation.

  If you are not getting the email, follow these steps:

  1. Check your Spam folder.
  2. Make sure you are entering the email address linked to your account.
  3. Wait for 5 to 10 minutes and try again.
  4. If the email has not arrived anyway, contact support via the form on the website.

• Session duration: 60 seconds

• Incoming audio (bot listens to client): 60 seconds

• Outgoing audio (bot responds to client): 20 seconds

• Calling the file search tool: 1 request

• Tokens spent:

  Prompt / instructions	1,500
  Answers without knowledge base search	1,500
  Answer with knowledge base search	1,000
  Document from the knowledge base	3,000
  Total	7,000

Speech recognition cost calculation:

$0.0002163934 × 60 = $0.012983604

Total: $0.012983604: Cost per 60 seconds of speech recognition.

Where:

• $0.0002163934: Cost of processing 1 second of incoming audio.

Speech synthesis cost calculation:

$0.0001663934 × 20 = $0.003327868

Total: $0.003327868: Cost per 20 seconds of speech synthesis.

Where:

• $0.0001663934: Cost of synthesizing 1 second of outgoing audio.

Text processing cost calculation:

((1,500 + 3,000) / 1,000 × $0.006557376) + ((1,500 + 1,000) / 1,000 × $0.006557376) = $0.045901632

Total: $0.045901632: Text processing cost.

Where:

• 1,500: Tokens spent on reading the prompt.
• 3,000: Tokens spent on reading instructions from the knowledge base.
• $0.006557376: Cost per 1,000 incoming tokens.
• 1,500: Tokens spent on answers without knowledge base search.
• 1,000: Tokens spent on answers with knowledge base search.
• $0.006557376: Cost per 1,000 outgoing tokens.

Calculating the cost of calling the file search tool:

$2.459016 / 1,000 × 1 = $0.002459016

Total: $0.002459016: Cost per 1 call of the file search tool.

Where:

• $2.459016: Cost per 1,000 calls of the file search tool.

Total cost calculation:

$0.012983604 + $0.003327868 + $0.045901632 + $0.002459016 = $0.06467212

Total: $0.06467212: Cost per 60 seconds of dialog with the support bot.
