Pricing
The Bohrium CLI itself is free and open source (MIT). Compute resources and some platform services are billed under Bohrium pricing rules: free capabilities incur no charge, and paid capabilities are billed only while a resource is running or when an action is triggered. All charged capabilities except machine-hour billing and SciMaster — including SciencePedia and LKM — can be paid with account balance or Photons; machine-hour fees are balance-only, and SciMaster billing is handled separately. The CLI asks for confirmation before every paid command.
Billed by machine hour (charged while running)
| Capability | Command | Billing | Notes |
|---|
| Compute jobs | bohr job | CNY / hour | Machine-hour fee while running, varies by machine type; see the Job pricing page |
| Development nodes | bohr node | CNY / hour | Machine-hour fee while running, varies by machine type; see the Node pricing page |
| Sandboxes | bohr sandbox | Machine hours | Machine-hour fee while running |
Billed by usage (charged on action)
| Capability | Command | Billing | Notes |
|---|
| AI mentor | bohr agents mentor | 2 CNY / session or 200 Photons / session | Charged when a session is created |
| Paper and patent search | bohr paper search | From 0.05 CNY / query or 5 Photons / query | Papers: standard 0.05 CNY (or 5 Photons), enhanced 0.1 CNY (or 10 Photons) per query; patents: standard 0.1 CNY (or 10 Photons), enhanced 0.3 CNY (or 30 Photons), professional 0.5 CNY (or 50 Photons) per query |
| PDF parsing | bohr pdf parse | 0.05 CNY / page or 5 Photons / page | Charged when parsing is triggered |
| LKM PDF knowledge extraction | bohr lkm parse result | 1 CNY / successful task or 100 Photons / successful task | 0.1 CNY or 10 Photons on a cache hit; only the first successful Result for each task_id is charged |
| SciMaster paper agents | bohr agents scimaster | Usage-based | Billed per paper-search or review task |
Free tier included
| Capability | Command | Billing | Notes |
|---|
| SciencePedia | bohr wiki | First 1,000 calls free | Then 0.01–0.02 CNY or 1–2 Photons per call |
| Literature Knowledge Mining queries | bohr lkm search, claim, reasoning, variables, graph | First 1,000 calls free | Then 0.05 CNY or 5 Photons per call; LKM Parse Result uses the separate rule above |
For LKM PDF knowledge extraction, submit, status, and wait do not incur a charge. The platform charges only when Result first returns status=succeeded for a task_id; queued, running, partial, failed, and error responses are not charged, and fetching the same successful result again does not charge it twice. See the LKM Parse Result billing rules for the complete OpenAPI response matrix.

Run bohr billing balance to check your balance and Photons, and bohr billing pricing to list billable items. Machine-hour fees follow the Bohrium pricing pages; the CLI asks for confirmation before paid commands — use --yes in non-interactive mode only after review.
