Group Pricing Explained

What Are Groups

The platform uses groups to apply tiered pricing to API keys. Keys belonging to different groups can access different sets of models and are subject to different price multipliers and rate limit configurations.

Groups are created and maintained by administrators in the backend. When creating an API key, you can choose which group the key belongs to. The group's price multiplier determines the credit consumption rate when calling models with that key.

Group Permission Differences

Permissions differ between groups across three main dimensions:

Available Models

Each group has its own model whitelist. Higher-tier groups typically have access to more models, including newly released models and high-performance models with higher consumption rates.

Price Multiplier

Each group has its own price multiplier configuration, which determines the actual credit consumption rate when calling models.

Actual multipliers are subject to the platform's latest configuration.

Rate Limits

The platform applies different per-minute request (RPM) and daily request total (TPD) limits to different groups, ensuring service quality for all users.

Selecting a Group When Creating an API Key

When creating an API key, you can choose the group the key belongs to in the configuration options. The selected group determines the key's price multiplier and the set of available models. Groups are created and maintained by administrators — contact an admin to adjust group configurations.
