# Global AI Pricing: Model Multipliers and Quota Conversion

> Model pricing on Global AI, how per-token billing multipliers work, and how quota converts into the amount charged per call.

Global AI bills per token. The quota a call consumes depends on the request token count and the model multiplier. Click **Model marketplace** in the top navigation, or go directly to [https://globalai.vip/pricing](https://globalai.vip/pricing).

## View model prices

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Model marketplace">
    Click **Model marketplace** in the top navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search for a model">
    Use the search box and enter a model keyword such as `gpt-5.6-sol`, `claude-sonnet-5`, or `gemini-3.7-flash` to jump straight to it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the multipliers and unit price">
    Each model shows:

    * **Model ID**: used in the `model` field for API calls
    * **Prompt token multiplier**: pricing coefficient for input
    * **Completion token multiplier**: pricing coefficient for output
    * **Cache token multiplier**: pricing coefficient when the cache hits
    * **Available groups**: which groups can call this model
    * **Performance**: model success rate over the last 24 hours
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The list of supported models and their prices changes as the market shifts. Trust the live pricing page as the source of truth.
</Note>

## Billing formula

What is quota, and how is it calculated?

```text Billing formula theme={null}
quota = group_multiplier * model_multiplier * (prompt_tokens + completion_tokens * completion_multiplier)
```

* **Prompt tokens**: content you send to the model, including the system prompt, history, and the current message.
* **Completion tokens**: content the model returns.
* **Group multiplier**: price differences across models are expressed through multipliers. Higher multipliers mean higher cost per token.

<Tip>
  Three common cost-control levers: pick a cheaper model, trim the system prompt, and cap `max_tokens`. Use the [Logs](/en/usage/logs) to spot the calls with the highest spend.
</Tip>

## Quota conversion

Quota is the platform's internal billing unit, like "balance points" in your account. On the top-up page, the amount selector shows how much quota one CNY or USD is worth. Refer to the top-up page for the live rate.

## Image, audio, and other endpoints

Beyond chat completions, endpoints such as image generation (`/v1/images/generations`), speech-to-text (`/v1/audio/transcriptions`), and TTS (`/v1/audio/speech`) are typically billed per call or per second / character. The pricing page lists the billing unit for each of these models separately.

## When a model is unavailable

* If the pricing page has no result for a model, the platform is not currently offering it (or it has been retired).
* Some models are only available to specific user groups and may not be visible to standard users. [Contact support](/en/contact) to request a group change.
* When an upstream provider is under maintenance, calls may fail. See [Call the API](/en/usage/api#common-errors) for the meaning of error codes.
