About this plugin

When working with AI models, managing costs is essential but often opaque. The dsh-cost-meter plugin solves this by displaying a live USD cost badge in the Web UI, providing real-time feedback on API expenses. It automatically tracks provider and model usage, accumulating costs from input, output, cache-read, and cache-write buckets, with per-turn details available on hover. Core capabilities include cost aggregation based on a customizable pricing table and seamless integration into the conversation interface. This plugin is ideal for developers, researchers, or anyone using DeepSeek Harness who wants to monitor and optimize their spending effectively.

Use Cases

  • View conversation costs in real time in the Web UI.
  • Monitor API call expenses to prevent budget overruns.
  • Analyze per-turn cost breakdowns for input and output.

Best For

  • Developers using DeepSeek Harness.
  • Researchers needing to manage AI costs.
  • Enterprise users focused on resource optimization.
