AI Units

AI Units is the measure used to license AI products. AI units are charged based on consumption when the models are bringing value to you.

Metering and charging logic

This page includes specific information regarding to AI units depending on the used activity, covering the cost for every AI product. Two variables are considered when computing AI units:

• Input size
• Model used

Note: The formula to calculate the consumption is as follows: input size x unit cost of the model.

For example, the consumption for UiPath Custom Named Entity Recognition model with input size 5000 characters is as follows:

• 5000 characters = 3 units
• Consumption: 3 units x 0.5 (unit cost) = 1.5 AI Units

Input size

Model	Input type	Input size	Computed input size
Document Understanding models	Document	1 page	Number of pages in the input document
Computer Vision	Image	1 image	Always 1
Task Mining	Dataset	1 dataset	Always 1
Other models	JSON	2000 characters = 1 unit	Ceil(length(input)/2000)
	File	5 MB = 1 unit	Ceil(size/5MB)
	Files	5 MB = 1 unit	Ceil(sum(size(input))/5MB)

Model used

Model	When we charge	Unit cost
Document Understanding models	Per prediction	For a list of all Document Understanding models, check the Metering & Charging Logic page from the Document Understanding guide.
Computer Vision	Per prediction	0
Task Mining	Per successful pipeline	5000
UiPath Light Text classifier	Per prediction	0.2
UiPath Multilingual classifier	Per prediction	0.5
UiPath Custom Named Entity Recognition	Per prediction	0.5
Open Source packages	Per prediction	0.1
Custom packages(uploading your zip file)	Per prediction	0.1

Note: Except for Task Mining, running a pipeline or deploying an ML Skill does not consume AI units and does not require additional licenses.

License tracking

AI units are currently tracked under Document Understanding Pages bundles for all scenarios (Automation Suite and standalone environment, both offline or online).

Note: Legacy licenses, such as AI Robots, GPU, or Task Mining will still be displayed, although they are not consumed.

Scenario	API Key	License management	Where to track your consumption
Enterprise on-premises deployed on AI Center™ standalone	The API Key found under Licenses for your Document Understanding cloud account	API Key is required during AI Center installation and can be changed through ArgoCD if needed	Home > License Usage > Other Services > AI Units (requires Automation Cloud™ account) account)
Enterprise on-premises offline deployed on AI Center™ standalone	N/A	License needs to be added to UiPath Orchestrator and distributed at tenant level	Tenant > License tab > UiPath Document Understanding card
