# Playground

Try a model right in the console: settings, cost per answer and billing.

The console Playground lets you send messages to a model without writing code.

## Settings

Pick a model, then set parameters such as temperature and the maximum number of tokens. The settings use the same names as the parameters on the [endpoint page](https://sivcloud.com/en/docs/chat-completions/).

## Cost per answer

Under each answer you see the cost in rupiah. At first the figure is an **estimate**, computed from the reported tokens and the model price. A moment later it is replaced by the **amount actually billed**, which already includes discounts, special prices and the plan allowance when they apply.

## Billing and data

- Playground use is billed like any other request and shows on the [Usage](https://sivcloud.com/en/docs/console/usage/) page.
- The conversation is not saved. Closing or reloading the page removes it from the screen. See [Data and privacy](https://sivcloud.com/en/docs/data-privacy/).
