AI Explorer

One lens for LLM usage across every provider — by model, project, and user, measured in tokens and API-equivalent value.

What is the AI Explorer?

The AI Explorer is a cross-provider view of your LLM usage. Where the Data Explorer answers "what did we spend?", the AI Explorer answers "what did we use?" — every model, from every connected provider and tool, normalised into one view and measured two ways: tokens and API-equivalent usage value.

Model names are standardised across providers, so gpt-5 used via the OpenAI API and the same model used through a coding tool roll up to one row. Usage appears once a token-carrying provider (for example Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenAI) has synced.

Usage value is not your bill.Dollar figures in the AI Explorer are API-equivalent value — what the usage would cost at API list rates. Subscription plans, committed-use discounts, and batch pricing mean your invoice can differ. Billed cost is always shown separately, and estimated and billed rows are deduplicated so nothing is double-counted.

Direction drill-down

Models with a captured direction split expand to show input, output, cache read, and cache write token counts with their percentage shares, billed dollars per direction where the vendor bills that way, and a blended effective rate (≈ $ per 1M tokens) at your actual mix.

The mix matters because output tokens typically cost several times more than input tokens, and cache reads cost a fraction of fresh input. Two teams using the same model with different mixes can have very different effective rates — which is also why Model Recommendations price alternatives at your mix rather than at headline rates.

Provider coverage

Coverage varies by provider, and the explorer is explicit about it — per-provider flags show whether model, user, project, and priced data are available rather than papering over gaps.

  • Full token telemetry: OpenAI, Anthropic/Claude (API and Claude Code), Cursor, GCP Vertex/Gemini.
  • Value only: Grok (xAI) reports spend without token counts, so it appears in the value measure but not the token measure.
  • Excluded from the model lens: GPU/compute billing (for example Hugging Face Endpoints) and non-generative models (embeddings, speech, image) are kept out of token totals.

Usage with no available list price shows tokens with no dollar value — never a fake $0 — and the affected models are listed in a footer note.

Start with the Model dimension.Group by Model with the Tokens measure to see what your teams actually run, then switch to Usage value to see what that usage is worth. If one model dominates, check Model Recommendations for a cheaper equal-or-better alternative.
