Connecting
Section titled “Connecting”Method: User Access Token
- In Hugging Face, go to Settings > Access Tokens.
- Click New token, set the type to Read, and give it a name.
- Copy the token.
- In Plutus, paste it into Access Token.
- Optionally enter your Organisation Name — required if you want to pull organisation-level billing data rather than just your personal account’s.
- Optionally set Instance Rate Overrides if you’re on negotiated or Enterprise pricing: comma-separated
instance=ratepairs in USD per hour, for examplenvidia-a100=2.10, aws/nvidia-l40s/x4=7.50. The instance key is the label shown in the Instance Type breakdown (vendor/type/size), or any shorter prefix of it —nvidia-a100matches every A100 size. - Optionally set a Fallback Rate per Hour for instance types Hugging Face hasn’t published a rate for and that no override matches (typically newly released hardware). This rate is scaled by instance size, so a fallback of
1.00prices anx4instance at $4.00/hr. - Save the connection.
Plutus lists your Inference Endpoints and prices each one against Hugging Face’s published hourly rate for its exact instance — vendor, instance type, and size — multiplied by its current replica count.
HuggingFace has no billing API of any kind, so cost is estimated, not invoiced: each Inference Endpoint is priced against HuggingFace’s published per-instance hourly rate card and its current replica count. That rate card is a snapshot held in Plutus, so it can lag a price change, and replica counts are read as they are now rather than as they were on each past day — an autoscaling endpoint reads as flat. Pro/Enterprise subscription fees, serverless Inference Providers, Jobs and Spaces hardware are not visible to any API and are not included.
