Units

What is a Unit?

On The Grid a Unit is the atomic building block of capacity. One Unit equals 1 million tokens of inference output, covering both input and output tokens. Units are what you buy on the order book, what moves between your Trading and Consumption accounts, and what gets drawn down when your application makes API calls. Each Unit is tied to a specific Instrument (like Text Prime or Text Standard), which defines the minimum intelligence, latency, and throughput you receive.

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