Does calling the Assistant API generate additional tokens?

Question

When calling the Assistant API, does it create additional tokens on top of the ones used for system and user prompts (messages)? Is code interpreter cost seperate?

Answer 1

Thanks for the question, Here is the document for Azure Open AI pricing. There are no additional tokens generated beyond the prompt and completions (inference tokens) from the base model used with each Assistant. Code interpreter cost is separate, but that has nothing to do with tokens generated.
