The genai_get_pricing function retrieves the pricing information for a specific AI model. It returns a dynamic object containing the input token price and output token price per million tokens, which you can use for cost calculations and budgeting.
You can use this function to display pricing information, create cost calculators, audit pricing data, or understand the cost structure of different AI models.
For users of other query languages
If you come from other query languages, this section explains how to adjust your existing queries to achieve the same results in APL.
In Splunk SPL, you would typically use a lookup table to retrieve pricing information by model name.
['ai-logs']
| extend pricing = genai_get_pricing(model)In ANSI SQL, you would join with a pricing table to get model costs.
['ai-logs']
| extend pricing = genai_get_pricing(model)Usage
Syntax
genai_get_pricing(model)Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| model | string | Yes | The name of the AI model (for example, 'gpt-4', 'claude-3-opus-20240229', 'gpt-3.5-turbo'). |
Returns
Returns a dynamic object containing pricing information with the following structure:
{
"input_price_per_million": <number>,
"output_price_per_million": <number>
}Returns null if the model is not recognized.
Example
Get pricing information for a GenAI model to understand cost structure.
Query
['otel-demo-genai']
| extend model = ['attributes.gen_ai.request.model']
| extend pricing = genai_get_pricing(model)
| where isnotnull(pricing)
| summarize request_count = count() by model, pricing = tostring(pricing)
| top 3 by request_countOutput
| model | pricing | request_count |
|---|---|---|
| gpt-4 | {"input_price_per_million": 30.0, "output_price_per_million": 60.0} |
450 |
| gpt-3.5-turbo | {"input_price_per_million": 0.5, "output_price_per_million": 1.5} |

This query shows which models are being used and their associated pricing, helping teams make informed decisions.
