Edge Inference Usage Units
The Edge Inference Unit (EIU) is the unit used by EdgeOne for billing edge inference model invocation usage.
Pricing
Price: USD 0.000143 / EIU (that is, USD 0.143 = 1000 EIU).
Scope: Edge inference models invoked via Makers Model Pro. Currently, this scope includes the Zhuque AIGC detection model.
Billing Rules
Note:
This feature is only available for the Enterprise Edition plan. To use it, please contact us to enable it.
Edge inference usage is billed as EIUs based on the actual number of invocations, with invoices issued monthly. The conversion rates between model invocations and EIUs are as follows:
Service Category | Value-Added Service Category | Value-Added Service Item | Statistical Rule | Converted to EIU |
Edge Inference | Model Invocation | Text Detection (zhuque-text) | Per call | 40 EIU / call |
Edge Inference | Model Invocation | Image Detection (zhuque-image) | Per image | 30 EIU / image |
Note:
1. Billing Method: The number of EIUs generated per invocation can be found in the conversion table above. The cost incurred within a billing cycle = the cumulative number of EIUs for that cycle * the EIU unit price.
2. A single text detection request is limited to a maximum of 1000 characters. If a request contains 1000 characters or fewer, it is billed as one invocation. For requests exceeding 1000 characters, each block of 1000 characters is billed as one invocation (rounded up). For example, a single detection of 22,000 characters is billed as 22 invocations, generating 22 * 40 = 880 EIUs, with a cost of USD 0.12584.
3. Image detection is billed based on the actual number of images processed. A single request supports uploading only one image. Therefore, billing by the number of images is equivalent to billing by the number of invocations. Images must be larger than 300 * 300 pixels, with a size limit of 10 MB. Supported formats are jpg, png, and webp.
4. The AIGC detection results are provided for reference only and do not constitute definitive conclusions. The detection accuracy is affected by factors such as the input content.
Example: Combined Call Billing
Suppose you invoke 100 text detection requests and 50 image detection requests within a billing cycle, with each text detection request containing 11,500 characters.
Text detection: For a single request of 11,500 characters, each block of 1000 characters is billed as one invocation (rounded up), resulting in 12 invocations. Therefore, 100 text detection requests generate a total of 100 * 12 = 1200 billable invocations, which equals 1200 * 40 EIU / invocation = 48,000 EIUs.
Image detection: 50 images * 30 EIU / image = 1500 EIUs.
Total: 48,000 + 1,500 = 49,500 EIUs.
The cost = 49,500 EIUs * USD 0.000143 / EIU = USD 7.0785.
