When to use it
Where AI tools earns its place
Reach for AI tools
- An assistant that acts through other apps, where each call and its result should be checkable.
- Answers built from the web or from documents, where the sources decide whether the answer can be trusted.
- Generation people refine rather than accept whole: a draft, an image, a page, a code change.
- Usage that costs money or room, such as tokens, context or a budget, and that people choose how to spend.
Reach for something else
- A plain conversation with no tools or sources. The assistant thread in the AI Chat family is lighter and says everything there is.
- A multi-step agent run with approvals and checkpoints. The Agents family is built around the run rather than one reply.
- A form someone fills in by hand. A form layout is faster than asking a model to read what the person could have typed.

- Named controlsEvery icon-only button keeps a text label, so a screen reader can say what it does.
- Keyboard firstEvery control is reachable with Tab, and its focus ring stays visible.
- More than colourA state never rides on colour alone; a mark or a word goes with it.
- Contrast holdsRetheme freely, but keep text at or above the contrast it ships with.
- Calm motionFor visitors who ask for reduced motion, things simply appear.
- Room to hitTargets stay at least 24px, with space between neighbours.

Questions about Model usage.
What is the Model usage block?
Model usage is a AI tools block from Orvain UI, built for React and Vue with a matching Figma frame. Best for picking a model and effort, and seeing what an answer used and cost.
What is the Model usage block made of?
5 parts: model and effort picker in the composer; thinking and the answer; a receipt of tokens and cost; a breakdown; and a nudge to a cheaper model near the limit. Keep them all, or drop the ones your product does not need; the rest of the block holds together without them.
Is the Model usage block responsive?
Yes. It is drawn at 600px and never stretched past that. Below it, its controls, text and spacing step down with the container the block sits in rather than the browser window, so it holds up in a sidebar, a tablet layout and a 390px phone without clipping or sideways scrolling.
Is the Model usage block accessible?
It ships with text labels on every icon-only button, full keyboard reach with a visible focus ring, states that never rely on colour alone, text contrast that holds when you retheme it, no animation for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and click targets of at least 24px.
How do I add the Model usage block to my project?
It is part of every Orvain Library plan: the React and Vue code, its frame in the Orvain Figma file, and the Orvain MCP server. With the MCP connected, an AI assistant such as Claude Code, Cursor or v0 can build it from one line: “Add the Orvain Model usage block to this page.”
When should I not use a AI tools block?
A plain conversation with no tools or sources. The assistant thread in the AI Chat family is lighter and says everything there is.
