Cost Metric

pydantic model ibm_watsonx_gov.metrics.cost.cost_metric.CostMetric

Bases: GenAIMetric

Defines the Cost metric class.

The Cost metric keep track of LLM usage cost for provided token count.

Examples

  1. Create Cost metric with default parameters and compute using metrics evaluator.
    metric = CostMetric()
    result = MetricsEvaluator().evaluate(data={"model": "...", "input_tokens": "...", "output_tokens": "..."},
                                        metrics=[metric])
