text-embedding-ada-002Model overview
Understand the model before estimating your workload.
Use the model ID text-embedding-ada-002 through the provider's direct API. The prices and limits on this page apply to that specific listing, with source data checked on 2026-10-12.
text-embedding-ada-002 accepts up to 8,192 input tokens within the published context limit. It returns an embedding vector rather than a generated text response. Vector dimensions describe the size of that output and are separate from the input token limit. Split longer inputs to stay within the provider's request limits.

How billing works
The details that turn a token rate into an actual bill.
Input tokens and vector output
text-embedding-ada-002 converts your input into embedding vectors. Use the listed input rate and the provider's reported input token count to estimate spend. Vector dimensions describe output size; they are not generated text tokens.
A missing rate is not free usage
If a price, discount, or limit is marked not published, confirm it with the provider before estimating spend. The calculator does not invent a separate cache discount when no cached-input rate is available.
Check discounts and rate tiers
Eligible batch requests use 50% of the standard token rate in this listing. Batch work is asynchronous; check supported endpoints and turnaround times. Review the provider's pricing terms for workload-specific conditions.
Account for the complete workflow
Retries, follow-up calls, and agent tool loops increase request counts. Search, storage, and other tool charges can be billed separately from model inference. Use actual API usage logs to calibrate a budget before scaling traffic.
