How Credits Work
Credits are the universal usage unit across Verdent for VS Code. Each AI operation consumes credits based on:- Model Type - More powerful models (e.g., Claude Sonnet 4.5) consume more credits than lightweight models (e.g., Claude Haiku)
- Context Size - Larger context windows (more code/files in conversation) increase credit consumption
- Operation Complexity - Simple queries use fewer credits than complex multi-file analysis or code generation
| Model | Cost Efficiency | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 1x baseline | General development, balanced performance |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 1M | 0.5x efficiency (2x cost) | Extended context when input exceeds 200k tokens |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 0.65 efficiency (1.6x cost) | Outstanding for complex tasks |
| Claude Haiku | 3.2x more efficient than Sonnet | Quick queries, simple tasks, rapid prototyping |
| Gemini 3 Pro | 70% off usage cost | Advanced model, suitable for frontend projects |
| GPT-5 / GPT-5-Codex | 1.3x more efficient than Sonnet | Reasoning and creativity tasks, code generation (Beta) |
