Units

What is a Unit?

A Unit is the atomic quantity of an Instrument.

  • One Unit represents 1 million tokens of inference capacity. Input and output tokens are counted as the same.

  • The price of the Instrument on the exchange is the price of 1 Unit, or 1M tokens. Units are bought or sold in integer quantities, no sub-units.

  • Units are what you buy on the exchange, what you see in your balances, and what your applications spend tokens from when they call the API.

This makes Units comparable to barrels of oil or megawatt hours of electricity. They are standardized buckets of fuel for consumption.
