What it does

When asked, “What will this AI solution actually cost to run?”, most teams don’t have a clear answer. This open-source AI Cost Calculator helps estimate the cost of chatbots, voice agents, and AI workflows before implementation. Model token usage, reasoning overhead, prompt caching, tool calls, conversation history, and compare pricing across models. Designed to help builders make better architecture, pricing, and unit economics decisions before scaling.

Estimate the cost of running AI-powered tasks — voice calls, chatbots, CRM automation, and more. Compare model pricing across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

Estimates only. Actual costs vary based on conversation length, prompt structure, and provider tokenization. Always verify with your provider before budgeting. Estimate costs for AI workflows — from single conversations to millions perfrom costlens.kipps.ai

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
