| Scenario | Cost | Assumption |
|---|---|---|
RAG answer per 1,000 RAG answers | $2.85 < $0.01 per request | 5K input tokens (query + 4 retrieved chunks of ~1K each) and a 500-token answer. Typical SaaS knowledge-base bot. |
Support ticket triage per 10,000 tickets | $5.70 < $0.01 per request | 1K input tokens (ticket body + system prompt) and a 100-token JSON classification reply. High-volume customer support. |
Data extraction per 1,000 documents | $1.50 < $0.01 per request | 2K input tokens (a single document page) and a 500-token JSON extraction. ETL / invoice / form pipelines. |
Code review per 1,000 PRs | $4.80 < $0.01 per request | 8K input tokens (diff + surrounding files) and a 1K-token review comment. PR-bot workloads. |
Agent step per 1,000 steps | $6.12 < $0.01 per request | 12K input tokens (long-running tool history) and a 600-token tool-call decision. Cost per agent step. |

Does Inkling Small support tool calling?
Yes. Inkling Small supports tool calling (function calling). This makes it suitable for production agent and automation workloads where the model has to invoke external functions reliably.
Does Inkling Small support structured output / JSON mode?
Yes. Inkling Small supports structured output / JSON-schema-constrained decoding. This makes it suitable for production agent and automation workloads where the model has to invoke external functions reliably.
Can Inkling Small accept image input?
