Show cumulative API spend across all stored GAIA runs and project the cost for a planned configuration before you commit to running it.
/gaia cost
/gaia cost --level=1 --limit=53 --models=claude-sonnet-4-6
/gaia cost --level=1 --limit=300 --models=sonnet,haiku --voting=3
| Flag | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--level | 1 | Level for projection |
--limit | 53 | Number of questions for projection |
--models | claude-haiku-4-5 | Comma-separated models for projection |
--voting | 1 | Self-consistency attempts multiplier |
--hardness-routing | off | Include hardness-router model-mix estimate |
| Model | Input ($/M tokens) | Output ($/M tokens) |
|---|---|---|
| claude-haiku-4-5 | $0.25 | $1.25 |
| claude-sonnet-4-6 | $3.00 | $15.00 |
| claude-opus-4-5 | $15.00 | $75.00 |
Estimates assume 1,500 input tokens / turn and 512 output tokens / turn, 4.2 mean turns per question (measured baseline).
Cumulative spend (all stored runs)
------------------------------------
Total runs: 3
Total Q's: 159
Total spend: $0.97
Haiku: $0.09 (53 Q × 1 attempt)
Sonnet: $0.88 (106 Q × 1 attempt)
Projection for: L1, 53 Q, sonnet × 3 voting
----------------------------------------------
Questions: 53
Attempts/Q: 3
Effective Q's: 159
Est. input tok: 238,500
Est. output tok: 81,600
Est. cost: $1.94
Above $5 threshold: NO — proceed without confirmation
When a projected run exceeds $5, the /gaia run command will display this
cost estimate and require explicit confirmation before proceeding.
