The formula
- Upstream cost is what the chat provider charges for this exact input.
- Margin is the configured gateway margin.
- Minimum is the configured minimum per call.
- WIF conversion uses a guarded live Robinhood pool-price snapshot. The exact 402 challenge is authoritative for the payment amount.
What counts for chat
Get a quote
POST /v1/quote takes the same body you would send to the chat model, plus a model field. It is free and needs no wallet.
network: "eip155:4663", the WIF ERC-20 asset, decimals: 18, and the quote-time WIF amount. The 402 challenge returned for the exact request is the value to authorize.
Important: WIF is volatile. A displayed USD estimate is not a mark-to-market balance, and unused chat budget is not an automatic WIF rebate on this rail.
Legacy Algorand pricing: Older docs may mention micro-USDC, image/voice/video units, or automatic rebates/refunds. Those examples describe the isolated legacy Algorand deployment only.
