Credits

What are Credits?

To rationally allocate computational resources for advanced large language models, CodeBuddy adopts a resource quota management mechanism based on Credits. Credits are used to measure the resource consumption during AI task execution.

In CodeBuddy, all conversation-related requests consume Credits. The specific amount consumed varies depending on task complexity and the advanced models used.

How are Credits consumed?

• Model Token Pricing: Different models consume different amounts of Credits. Advanced models possess stronger reasoning capabilities and richer knowledge reserves, but their unit prices for processing input and output tokens are higher. Therefore, processing the same number of tokens consumes more Credits.
• Task Complexity: Simple tasks (such as short Q&A) consume less, while complex tasks (such as long code analysis, multi-round conversations, and knowledge base retrieval) require more reasoning computation and token processing, consuming more resources.

Personal Edition

The system prioritizes using the Credits quota of the Personal Trial Edition. When the quota is insufficient, it prioritizes using the Credits that expire first, including Personal Professional Edition, Personal Add-on Packs, and other types of resource packages.
