What is SCU?
SCU means Standard Capability Unit: a standardized unit for estimating practical AI capability delivered by model tokens. USD/SCU shows the estimated dollar cost to buy 1 SCU of capability.
This is a synthetic quote derived from public pricing, estimated capability scores, and simulated delivery factors. It is not a traded market price or provider telemetry.
