Understanding BlackMountain Credits
Your credit usage depends on the type of AI operation you perform. Here are approximate values:
Operation | Approximate Credits |
Data upload (per 1 GB) | ~40 |
LLM prompt/response | 1–10 |
Image generation | 10–30 |
Internal search query | 2–4 |
Web search | 5–10 |
Note: These are approximate values. Actual usage varies based on model selection, prompt complexity, and response length.
What Can You Do with 1,000 Credits?
With 1,000 credits per user per month, you could generate approximately:
100–1,000 LLM conversations (depending on complexity)
30–100 AI-generated images
200–500 web searches
Most users find this sufficient for daily professional AI use.
