This page provides details on how Context Grounding requests are quantified through licensing units.
Context
Grounding consumes AI units for each request (search, summarization, or RAG
operations) as it is executed through GenAI Activities. The consumption of AI units
occurs in the following way:
- Basic search and retrieval is free. This includes any time the index is accessed by a GenAI activity or an agent.
- Basic ingestion is free. Applies to digital text input only (excluding images and tables).
- Advanced ingestion is charged
at 2 AI Units per 15,000 tokens of input (or 10 pages). Applies to
multi-modal documents such as scans, tables, or images; large documents
typically containing around 1.5 million tokens or more than 1,000 pages; or
extensive unstructured text, like JSON files exceeding 6 million
characters.
Note: With advanced ingestion, AI Units are consumed only for documents that are new or whose content has changed since the last ingestion. Unchanged documents are not reprocessed or charged during scheduled syncs.
Community users are subject to the following quotas:
- Index allocation: 10 indexes per tenant.
- Data ingestion: Daily limits based on the number of ingested pages.
- Query allowance: Up to 100 free queries per day, after which consumption starts.
Trial and Enterprise tenants receive:
- Index allocation: 10 indexes per tenant.
- Query allowance: Up to 100 free queries per day, after which consumption starts.
Note: Advanced ingestion is not available for
Community and Trial accounts.
