Understanding In-App Currencies in AskCodi

In-app currency is a crucial concept to grasp when getting started with V5. This guide will help you understand the different types of currency, their uses, and how to manage them effectively.

Types of In-App Currency

V5 currently uses two main types of in-app currency, visible in the top right corner of your header:

  1. AI Credits
  2. LLM Tokens

AI Credits

  • Used to run the app sandbox and code spaces
  • Usage depends on the model cost
  • If a model's cost is zero, AI credits don't affect usage (unlimited usage)
  • Some models have associated costs, which will consume AI credits
  • There are no type - one that refreshes monthly and the other which does not expire
  • You can earn or buy non expiry AI credits

LLM Tokens

  • Used to activate AI models on the platform
  • Can activate current models or future models in development
  • Models are tied to plan levels (Free, Premium, Ultimate)
  • Each model has different activation costs

Managing Your In-App Currency

  • AI Credits: Monitor usage, especially for models with associated costs
  • LLM Tokens: Activate only the models you plan to use, as activation costs are irreversible

Tips for Effective Currency Management

  1. Activate some unlimited-use models for general tasks
  2. Choose high-use models strategically based on your needs
  3. Keep an eye out for future opportunities to buy or earn credits

Future Developments

The V5 team plans to introduce new ways to buy and earn in-app currency in the future. Stay tuned for updates and new features that will enhance your experience with the platform.

By understanding and managing these in-app currencies effectively, you can maximize your use of V5's features and capabilities.
