ACU
An abstract unit used by AI platforms to measure model invocations or computational resource consumption. It converts heterogeneous AI tasks into a unified, comparable value to facilitate budget allocation and accounting, and is referred to as compute currency.

In the hierarchical budget model, enterprise administrators no longer directly manage each user's quota, but instead allocate ACU budgets to department heads, who then distribute and approve usage limits to sub-teams, projects and individuals.
ACU (AI Compute Unit) is an abstract unit of measurement used by AI platforms to measure model calls or computing resource consumption, similar to vCPU·hours in cloud services or token quotas in API calls.
Different vendors may define ACU differently, but what they have in common is converting heterogeneous AI tasks (text generation, image processing, inference calls, etc.) into a unified, comparable numerical value.
Understanding ACU conversion rules (how many ACUs different models and different tasks consume) is a prerequisite for judging whether hierarchical budgets are fair.
Devin adopts an ACU (Agent Compute Unit)-like usage billing system, where users purchase a certain quota and tasks are deducted against it as they are consumed.
Common billing models for autonomous coding agents include per-ACU billing, per-task-duration billing, or billing calculated based on underlying token consumption.
