Usage and billing

​

Overview

Usage through https://models.ageneral.ai draws Ageneral account credits from the project owner wallet when billing gates apply. Checks run before upstream inference on gated routes.

​

Credits

Credits raise the balance available for Models usage. When the balance is exhausted, gated routes may return 402 Payment Required until credits are added.

​

Virtual keys

Virtual keys use the sk-bf-… prefix. Scope them to your account or project; spend rolls up to the project owner wallet. Use them for scripts, tools, and extensions that call models.ageneral.ai directly.

​

Billing for agents

Inference initiated by Ageneral-hosted agents uses project-scoped access and consumes the same balances and gates as virtual-key traffic initiated by your applications. Application code should continue to use virtual keys when you call Models.
