Billing basis
RUB including VAT. Existing SaluteDevices / Salute for Business customers on pay-as-you-go. From 1 September 2026 new customers and customers without prior package purchases are directed to Cloud.ru, whose prices are not represented here. Minimum total monthly bill is RUB 600 when usage is nonzero; zero usage has no charge. These unit costs exclude that account-level minimum and are not a complete bill.Source for Billing basis (opens in a new tab)

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Access
POST https://api.giga.chat/v1/embeddings; authorized access token required.
Regions
Processing region and residency contract not established by this review.
Concurrent requests

Account-level default, not a separate allowance for each model; batch throughput is not inferred from it.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Exact native hosted selector documented by Sber. No matching downloadable checkpoint was identified in the reviewed public ai-sage artifact inventory. Public GigaChat 20B, GigaChat 3.x and Giga embedding releases are not assumed identical to this hosted model; this is a qualified catalog classification, not proof about undisclosed private variants.
