What goes into the cost of using Yandex AI StudioWhat goes into the cost of using Yandex AI Studio

In Yandex Cloud Billing, AI Studio usage is detailed in billing units. The billing unit value is different for generation, vectorization, and dedicated instances.

Text generationText generation

Text generation cost is based on the total number of prompt and response tokens and depends on the parameters of your request to the generative model. Namely, the cost depends on the following:

• Model that gets the request.
• The model's operating mode.

The number of prompt and response tokens for the same text may vary depending on the model.

With models in batch mode, the minimum cost per run is 200,000 tokens.

The total number of billing units is based on the overall number of prompt and response tokens and is rounded up to an integer.

TokenizationTokenization

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

Fine-tuned modelsFine-tuned models

At the Preview stage, you can fine-tune models free of charge. The use of fine-tuned models is charged according to the base model's pricing policy: the use of a fine-tuned YandexGPT Lite model is charged according to the YandexGPT Lite pricing policy.

Dedicated instancesDedicated instances

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

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

Text classificationText classification

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.

Text vectorizationText vectorization

The cost of text vectorization (getting text embeddings) depends on the size of the text submitted for vectorization.

Using assistants and text agentsUsing assistants and text agents

You can use the AI Assistant API, Responses API and store files free of charge; however, you will be charged for models according to the text generation rules.

Service	Price per 1,000 requests, without VAT
Web Search Tool	$7.5

Using voice agentsUsing voice agents

The cost of using voice agents consists of your fees for speech recognition (input audio), speech synthesis (output audio), and text generation using the speech-realtime-250923.

Image generationImage generation

You are charged for each generation request in YandexART. Requests are not idempotent; therefore, two requests with the same settings and generation prompt are two separate requests.

MCP HubMCP Hub

At the Preview stage, MCP servers are free of charge. However, you may still be charged for tools created in MCP servers. For example, Yandex Cloud Functions function invocations.

When using external APIs, such as Kontur.Focus, or amoCRM, you pay directly to the partner.

Internal server errorsInternal server errors

You are not charged for a request that fails due to an internal server error.

Examples of the YandexGPT Lite and YandexGPT Pro usage cost calculationExamples of the YandexGPT Lite and YandexGPT Pro usage cost calculation

Calculating the text generation costCalculating the text generation cost

Example 1Example 1

Cost of using YandexGPT Lite for text generation with the following properties:

• Number of prompt tokens: 225
• Number of response tokens: 525
• Model: YandexGPT Lite
• Model working mode: Synchronous

Total: ($0.001667 / 1,000 units) × 750 units = $0.001250

Example 2Example 2

Cost of using YandexGPT Pro for text generation with the following properties:

• Number of prompt tokens: 115
• Number of response tokens: 1,500
• Model: YandexGPT Pro
• Model working mode: Asynchronous

The cost is calculated as follows:

• Number of prompt and response tokens: 115 + 1,500 = 1,615.
• Price per 1,000 tokens for the YandexGPT Pro model, asynchronous mode: $0.005001.
• Number of units per token for the YandexGPT Pro model, asynchronous mode: 3.
• Total number of units in usage details: 1,615 × 3 = 4,845.

Total: ($0.005001 / 1,000 tokens) × 1,615 tokens = $0.008077.

Example 3Example 3

Cost of using YandexGPT Pro and DataSphere for text generation with the following properties:

• Number of prompt tokens: 1,020
• Number of response tokens: 30
• Model: YandexGPT Pro fine-tuned in DataSphere
• Model working mode: Synchronous

The cost is calculated as follows:

• Number of tokens in prompt and response: 1,020 + 30 = 1,050.
• Price per 1,000 tokens for the model fine-tuned in DataSphere, in synchronous mode: $0.010002.
• Number of units per token for a model fine-tuned in DataSphere, synchronous mode: 6.
• Total number of units in usage details: 1,050 × 6 = 6,300.

Total: ($0.001667 / 1,000 units) × 6,300 units = $0.010502 or ($0.010002 / 1,000 tokens) × 1,050 tokens = $0.010502.

Calculating the text vectorization costCalculating the text vectorization cost

Cost of using Yandex AI Studio for text vectorization with the following property:

• Number of tokens per request: 2,000

• $0.000083: Cost of processing 1,000 tokens.
• $0.000083 / 1,000: Cost of processing one token.

2,000 × ($0.000083 / 1,000) = $0.000166

Total: $0.000166.

Voice agent cost calculation exampleVoice agent cost calculation example

Cost of using the speech-realtime-250923 voice agent within a 60-second session:

• Input audio: 60 seconds
• Output audio: 20 seconds
• Number of tokens: 2,000

$0.006668 × 2 + $0.000216 × 60 + $0.00166 × 20 = $0.013336 + $0.012960 + $0.033200

Total: $0.059496.

Where:

• $0.006668: Cost of processing 1,000 tokens.
• $0.006668 × 2: Cost of processing 2,000 tokens.
• $0.000216: Cost of processing one second of incoming audio.
• $0.000216 × 60: Cost of processing 60 seconds of incoming audio.
• $0.00166: Cost of processing one second of outgoing audio.
• $0.00166 × 20: Cost of processing 20 seconds of outgoing audio.
