- Supports dollar billing to show estimated costs
- Monthly budget thresholds and early warning mechanisms can be established
- Provide historical usage data analysis and comparison reports
The system supports a variety of billing model conversion, developers can flexibly choose a more suitable AI model according to the complexity of the task (e.g., switching from gpt-4 to claude-3), and through the visual presentation of the cost data, the user can achieve the cost optimization efficiency of up to 200%.
