Tokens

The resource usage on AiQu is partially determined by ‘Tokens’, a form of virtual currency for running jobs on the AiQu System. Tokens are used to schedule jobs and pay for storage.

The amount of personal tokens you have access to can always be seen in the lower left on the website (Note: Tokens you have access to through projects will not be shown here).

Tokens are distributed by the administrators of the system, either manually or automatically using a scheduled payment (i.e. all users will receive X amount of Tokens per day).

When a user schedules a job, the cost is determined by: a start cost + the resources used (GPU, CPU and RAM) × the length of the job. The per-hour rate for each resource is determined by which queue the job is added to.

You can always see the estimated cost of your job before adding it to the queue in the pane on the right.

Tokens can be drawn directly from the users account, or from a project that they are a member of. To schedule a job using the project tokens the user can pick the project in the menu on the right from a drop-down before adding the job to the queue.

Tokens will also be drawn based on how much and what type of storage is used.

When a user’s Tokens run out, their jobs will be cancelled and they will be unable to store any more data in the system.

Subscriptions

Depending on how your AiQu environment is set up, access may be organised through subscription plans (for example Student, Starter, Team and Business). Each plan comes with a recurring amount of included tokens and its own limits. You can choose a plan when signing up, and an active subscription is shown together with its renewal/expiry date. If a subscription payment is left incomplete you will be prompted to complete it before the subscription becomes active.

Purchasing tokens

If your environment runs in purchase mode you can buy additional tokens directly. Select a predefined token package (some include a discount) or enter a custom amount, choose your currency (EUR or SEK) and complete the payment through Stripe. Prices are shown excluding VAT.

Transaction history

The Transaction history page lets you review your token transactions over a chosen date range (up to 90 days). You can switch between the wallets you have access to — your personal wallet, and, where applicable, project or realm wallets — to see the current balance and a log of each transaction with its date, description, status (running or completed) and the number of tokens transferred.
