How to Meter OpenAI API and ChatGPT UsageImplementing OpenAI API and ChatGPT token usage metering

The integration of AI in products is driving the adoption of usage-based pricing models to ensure profitability, as companies need to charge back their customers for API usage or cover expensive computing resources. This trend will accelerate furthermore, with businesses eventually adopting some form of usage-based pricing component to pass on AI costs to customers transparently. To attribute AI usage accurately and implement scalable solutions, it is crucial to implement accurate metering that can handle scale and report usage for any given period to power usage-based billing and trigger product features like in-app usage reporting. OpenMeter is an open-source usage metering solution that leverages Kafka and stream processing to help engineers meter and attribute AI and compute usage for billing, chargeback, and analytics cases.
