Anima Cost Tuning

Pricing Context

Anima uses partner-based pricing (not self-service). API access is currently granted to partners with custom agreements. Costs are typically per-generation or per-seat.

Cost Optimization Strategies

Strategy	Savings	Implementation
Generation cache	60-80%	Cache results; only regenerate on design change
Incremental generation	40-60%	Detect changed components; skip unchanged
Batch scheduling	20-30%	Generate during off-peak; avoid real-time
Output reuse	30-50%	Generate once, customize programmatically

Instructions

Step 1: Usage Tracker

// src/cost/usage-tracker.ts
interface GenerationRecord {
  timestamp: string;
  fileKey: string;
  nodeId: string;
  cached: boolean;
  durationMs: number;
}

class AnimaUsageTracker {
  private records: GenerationRecord[] = [];

  record(entry: GenerationRecord): void { this.records.push(entry); }

  getReport(): { total: number; cached: number; savings: string } {
    const total = ..;
     cached = ..( r.).;
     {
      total,
      cached,
      : total >  ?  : ,
    };
  }
}
