Dataset contents

This repository publishes:

• train.csv — the CSV snapshot used by the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer
• prices.csv — the normalized downloadable CSV representation
• prices.json — the complete machine-readable JSON representation
• meta.json — dataset version, generation time, verification date, and coverage metadata

The dataset contains normalized pricing records for major AI API providers and models.

Unknown or insufficiently verified prices are represented as null, never 0.

Supported providers

• OpenAI
• Anthropic
• Google Gemini
• xAI
• DeepSeek
• Mistral AI
• Cohere

Why this dataset?

• Source-linked pricing records
• Machine-readable CSV and JSON formats
• Input, output, cached-input, cache-write, and batch fields where available
• Verification and effective-date metadata
• Per-model history in the source repository
• Dated full snapshots in the source repository
• Suitable for calculators, dashboards, cost analysis, and AI FinOps tooling

The source repository includes freshness checks for source URLs and stale verification dates.

These checks do not guess, infer, or automatically overwrite prices.

Load with pandas

import pandas as pd

url = (
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/"
    "aicostbudget-ai/ai-api-pricing/resolve/main/train.csv"
)

pricing = pd.read_csv(url)

print(pricing.head())
print(pricing["provider_id"].value_counts())

Load with Hugging Face Datasets

from datasets import load_dataset

pricing = load_dataset(
    "aicostbudget-ai/ai-api-pricing",
    split="train",
)

print(pricing)
print(pricing[0])

The train split represents the current published pricing snapshot.

This dataset is not intended as model-training supervision data.

Provider-level and model-level endpoints are also available in the source repository.

Common use cases

• Build an AI API cost calculator
• Compare model input and output pricing
• Create internal AI FinOps dashboards
• Audit source-linked pricing records
• Export normalized pricing data
• Analyze historical pricing changes
• Support technical cost research and reporting

Data provenance

Prices are accepted only from:

• Official provider pricing pages
• Official product documentation
• Official APIs
• Official provider announcements

Third-party calculators, search snippets, forum posts, and competitor aggregators are not used as final price sources.

Freshness and updates

The GitHub source repository includes automated checks for:

• Unreachable official source URLs
• Stale last_verified_at values
• Invalid or incomplete generated data
• Schema and dataset validation failures

The automated workflows do not guess or automatically replace prices.

For the latest dataset version and verification information, inspect meta.json.

Historical pricing

Per-model history files are maintained in the source repository under:

data/history/<provider>/<model>.jsonl

Dated full snapshots are maintained under:

data/snapshots/<YYYY-MM-DD>/prices.json
data/snapshots/<YYYY-MM-DD>/prices.csv

Limitations

• Provider pricing may change before the next verified update.
• Some providers use regional, tiered, contract-specific, or negotiated pricing.
• Some models may have different prices for long-context requests or special service tiers.
• Unknown or insufficiently verified fields remain null.
• A published model record does not imply endorsement or partnership.
• Final billing decisions should be verified against the provider's official pricing page, contract, and invoice.
