Estimate cost for a structure and binding prediction

$ boltz-api predictions:structure-and-binding estimate-cost

POST/compute/v1/predictions/structure-and-binding/estimate-cost

Estimate the cost of a prediction without creating any resource or consuming GPU.

ParametersExpand Collapse

--input: object { entities, binding, bonds, 4 more }

--model: "boltz-2.1"

Model to use for prediction

--idempotency-key: optional string

Client-provided key to prevent duplicate submissions on retries

--workspace-id: optional string

Target workspace ID (admin keys only; ignored for workspace keys)

ReturnsExpand Collapse

PredictionStructureAndBindingEstimateCostResponse: object { breakdown, disclaimer, estimated_cost_usd }

Estimate response with monetary values encoded as decimal strings to preserve precision.

breakdown: object { application, cost_per_unit_usd, num_units }

Cost breakdown for the billed application.

application: "structure_and_binding" or "small_molecule_design" or "small_molecule_library_screen" or 4 more

"structure_and_binding"

"small_molecule_design"

"small_molecule_library_screen"

"protein_design"

"protein_redesign"

"protein_library_screen"

"adme"

cost_per_unit_usd: string

Estimated cost per displayed unit as a decimal string, rounded up to 4 decimal places. This may include token-size multipliers or generation overhead; estimated_cost_usd is the authoritative total.

num_units: number

Number of billable units in the estimate. The unit depends on the endpoint: samples for structure-and-binding, molecules for ADME, and requested proteins or molecules for design/screen endpoints.

disclaimer: string

estimated_cost_usd: string

Estimated total cost as a decimal string
