Hi Team,

I’ve already used up 177 updates and these are all from Glide AI High Power config.

However, upon checking my OpenAI usage, it doesn’t seem to be affected.

Would you know why is that?

Thanks!

If you are using the native Glide AI columns, then Glide pays the AI cost and passes that back to you via the update usage. The only time your own OpenAI credits would be affected would be if you used the Open AI integration.

Hmmm…

So this is the Open AI Integration…

Hmm… Would I be saving some cost if I use Native Glide AI?

I’m not sure about cost, but personally I think the native Glide AI is a better choice for most uses cases, as Glide does all the hard work for you - selecting the appropriate model and AI provider based on your use case, etc.
