Industry First

Inference Priced by Energy Consumed

Token-based pricing hides the true cost of AI inference. We're changing that.<br>Pay per kilowatt-hour and know exactly what resources your AI workloads consume.

Transparent

See energy consumption per request. No hidden costs, no opaque token multipliers.

Predictable

Energy costs are consistent. No surprises from model-specific pricing variations.

Efficient

Optimize your AI workloads. Compare energy efficiency across models and make informed decisions.

Compare energy vs token pricing
