Auto-reload your credits
Now you can set up automatic credit reloading in the Billing page. Enable this so you won't run out of credits in the middle of a job. This applies to users on the Starter plan.
Start where you left off
Your work in the Playground now carries over between visits. Previous chats for each model are saved automatically and listed in the right sidebar. Click any conversation to pick back up on it. Each model now remembers the inference settings you last used, such as max tokens, temperature, and reasoning mode.
See more accurate usage numbers
A model endpoint shows more accurate usage: We now report cached input tokens in model usage. FLUX megapixels now appear in model usage.
Set a monthly spend limit
You can now cap how much your organization spends each billing cycle with a monthly spend limit . When your organization reaches its limit, API requests return a 401 error until the next billing cycle starts or an admin raises or removes the limit.
Use the Playground without an API key
You don't need to create an API key to try a model anymore. Open the Playground , select a shared model, and start running inference. Playground usage still bills to your organization.
Choose which emails you get
Your profile page now has email preferences for billing alerts, tips, and marketing.
Edit the system prompt
You can now edit the system prompt when you chat with a model in the Playground . Each model remembers your system prompt. To go back to the default prompt, click Reset .
