Models and Pricing

EmpirioLabs AI exposes a canonical model catalog through the API. The same catalog powers the Models page and Pricing page on the website.

List models

$
curl "https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1/models?available=true" \
>
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY"

The response includes each model’s id, display name, provider, modalities, capabilities, supported parameters (with types, defaults, min/max), context window, and pricing.

Retrieve one model

$
curl "https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1/models/seed-2-0-pro" \
>
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY"

The detail response includes the full supported_parameters array, capabilities object, default_params, and pricing breakdown.

Model categories

Pricing units

Models are not all token-priced. The catalog may use any of these billing units:

• token — charged per input token and per output token (most text/chat models)
• request — flat rate per API call
• image — charged per generated image
• video-second — charged per second of generated video
• audio-second — charged per second of generated or transcribed audio
• tool-call — charged per tool invocation
• custom — model-specific billing (see the model’s pricing array)

Always call GET /v1/models or GET /v1/models/{modelId} for current pricing metadata before estimating cost.

Discount labels

Discount labels such as Save 10% reflect the discount against the comparable standard API rate from the original provider, when a standard rate is available. These discounts are applied automatically — no coupon or special plan required.

Regions

Each model’s served_from field indicates the region or provider infrastructure used to serve requests. This can help with latency planning and data residency requirements.
