EmpirioLabs AI now offers up to 20% off standard market rates across a select catalog of AI models. Managing inference costs is a critical component of scaling AI applications, and our platform is designed to provide predictable pricing. This discount applies to all proprietary Alibaba models, including Qwen and Wan, as well as open-source models hosted directly on our infrastructure. Our platform operates on a strict pay-per-use model, allowing developers to access these models without requiring monthly subscriptions.
These discounts are available to all users with no minimum spend, and further discounts can be automatically applied with larger purchases (starting at $100).
Unified Discount Structure
The discount is integrated directly into our pricing for the models developers utilize most frequently.
Proprietary Models
Developers can access the complete family of Alibaba text and video models at a reduced rate compared to direct provider access. This pricing applies across their model tiering, whether you are utilizing Qwen-Max for complex reasoning tasks or Qwen-Flash for high-speed inference requirements.
Empirio-Hosted Models
The discount extends to the open-source models we host and optimize on our own GPU fleet, including Hunyuan-Video-1.5 and SVI-2.0-Pro. This allows users to leverage our high-performance, serverless infrastructure while maintaining a lower overall price point per inference call.
Optional Volume-based Discounts
For engineering teams managing consistent, high-volume workloads, we are introducing optional volume-based discounts (that are automatically applied) to provide further cost reductions. These plans will be automatically applied through the platform. By purchasing these volume discounts (starting at $100), users can stack additional savings on top of the standard discounted pay-per-use rates. This structure pushes the total effective discount well beyond the initial 20% threshold.
| Model Category | Pay-Per-Use Discount | With Add-On Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Proprietary Models (e.g., Alibaba) | Up to 20% | >20% |
| Empirio-Hosted Models (e.g., Falcon, SoulX) | Up to 20% | >20% |
More models with further discounts are planned for the near future. This blog may not represent the most up-to-date discounts that our platform has to offer.
