## Response Format

{
  "id": "chatcmpl-abc123",
  "object": "chat.completion",
  "model": "k-exaone_v2.5",
  "choices": [
    {
      "index": 0,
      "message": {

}
```

## Usage Flow

1. POST /llm/exaone/v1/chat/completions with model and messages
2. Response is returned synchronously (or streamed if stream=true)
3. Credits are deducted based on token usage

Credits in the response (opt-in): send the header `X-Coredot-Include-Cost: true` and the response reports the credits that call is billed — `usage.coredot.credits` in the body (Gemini: `usageMetadata.coredot`; streaming: in the final usage event) and, for non-streaming responses, the `X-Coredot-Credits` header. Guide: https://console.core.today/llms/api.txt (section "Credits in the response").

## Token Pricing

- Input: 0.0001858 credits/token (185.8 credits per 1M tokens)
- Output: 0.000929 credits/token (929 credits per 1M tokens)
