Is the `cost` accurate in Public Endpoint?

[olive mason]

I am using the Public Endpoints API to generate images with: https://console.runpod.io/hub/playground/image/qwen-image-t2i

According to the docs, the pricing is $0.02/Mega-pixel.

In the API response from generating the image, it provides a cost value in the JSON data, and it always seems to be 0.02, regardless of the input image dimensions I'm using. Is this accurate? The billing/pricing isn't transparent in most of the Public Endpoints, and I'd like confirmation before I'm able to deploy anything.

This is 100% broken

It's not scaling the cost per MP, I'll have it fixed - but right now it will always return 0.02.

Great, can you let me know when this is fixed? I'd like to use it in production asap. Same thing with the qwen-image-edit Public Endpoint (if it has the same issue).

I think its production ready, you can just use it

[olive mason]

I was told the documentation/dashboard page was incorrect and pricing is $0.02/image and not $0.02/megapixel. The docs/dashboard are not updated to represent this.

[opal hamlet]

hmm yeah should be confusing, but if you were to use it in production will it cause any problem?

[olive mason]

Uncertainty around how much it actually costs per API call isn't ideal for production and I can't use it if I don't have the basic unit economics in place.

i see

It's pretty much confirmed pricing is $0.02/image

[olive mason]

It explicitly says $0.02 per megapixel on the live page: https://console.runpod.io/hub/playground/image/qwen-image-t2i

But yes, pricing is confirmed to be $0.02/per image
