  • Pricing will be based on the pay-as-you-go consumption model with a price per unit for each model, which is similar to other Azure Cognitive Services pricing models.
  • Example #1

    You spend a few days iterating with prompts, for various use cases using each of the base models for text. Here is an example of the charges you will have incurred:

    Model Used Total tokens processed (in thousands) Price per 1k tokens Total charges
    text-davinci-002 1,123 $0.02 $22.46
    text-curie-001 3,987 $0.002 $7.974
    Total $30.434

    Example #2

    You now fine-tune a Curie model with your data, deploy the model and make 14.5M tokens over a 5-day period. You leave the model deployed for the full five days (120 hours) before you delete the endpoint. Here are the charges you will have incurred:

    Model Used Training time for the model Total tokens processed (in thousands) Price per 1k tokens Number of hours deployed Price per hour Total charges
    Fine-tuned Curie 30 min 14,500 $0.002 120 $0.24 $69.8
