Understand AI costs
Work through input and output tokens, image and video pricing, retries and subscriptions. Use fictional examples to practice before comparing real offers.
Read the AI cost guide →Practical knowledge, open to everyone
Explore technology with better questions.
Start with a useful skill: understand an AI bill, plan a small experiment, or tell the difference between a promising concept and demonstrated evidence. These original Benny Labs Foundation resources are free to read on this website. No account, purchase or workshop is required.
Evaluate an invention idea
Define a problem, list assumptions, plan a safe small test, compare a baseline and record what the evidence actually supports.
Read the invention guide →Use these resources your way
Students can practice the worked examples. Creators and developers can use the calculator to check a budget. Independent inventors can use the evaluation steps to plan and document a small test. The guides are self-directed learning material; no certification or personalized advice is offered.
The calculator uses the numbers you enter on your device and does not send them to the Foundation. You do not need to provide payment details, sign in to an AI provider or leave this site to use it.
Explore a concept in detail
Our research explanations describe proposed systems and their open development questions. Read them alongside the evaluation guide and identify what evidence you would need before relying on a design.
- Transactional Traffic: vehicle coordination
- Worm Cargo: routing packages between connected vehicles
- Living Nails: wearable displays and separate electronics
Concept illustrations and patent applications do not establish working performance. Read about the research status.
