Mendix Cloud GenAI Resource Packs
Introduction
Mendix Cloud GenAI Resource Packs provide turn-key access to Generative AI technology, delivered through Mendix Cloud.
-
Model Resource Packs offer access to large language model capacity. You choose a monthly Cloud Token amount, which is converted to GenAI Units at a rate of 100 GenAI Units per Cloud Token. GenAI Units are consumed against a model-specific exchange rate, so you can use any supported Anthropic Claude model, for example, Haiku, Sonnet, or Opus from a single resource.
-
Embeddings Resource Packs provide access to Cohere Embed models for generating embedding vectors. New model versions are automatically available on your existing resource as Mendix adds them — no resource changes or key updates are required. For a full list of available models, see Supported Models.
-
Knowledge Base Resource Packs provide an OpenSearch-based vector database to support Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Semantic Search, and other Generative AI use cases.
Developers can use the Mendix Cloud GenAI Portal to manage their Mendix Cloud GenAI resources and seamlessly integrate model and knowledge base capabilities into their Mendix apps using the Mendix Cloud GenAI Connector. Optimized for high performance and low latency, Mendix Cloud GenAI Resource Packs provide the easiest and fastest way to deliver end-to-end Generative AI solutions with Mendix.
General Availability
Mendix Cloud GenAI Resource Packs is a premium Mendix product that requires an additional purchase. To start using GenAI Resource Packs or inquire about pricing, contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM). For more information, you can also contact genai-resource-packs@mendix.com.
You can purchase GenAI Resource Packs using Mendix Cloud Tokens. For details around costs, see Cloud Tokens.
Models
Mendix Cloud GenAI Resource Packs give you access to Anthropic's Claude model families and Cohere's Embed models. A single text generation resource supports multiple Claude model families, for example, Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus so you can use the most appropriate model for each use case without managing separate resources. Embeddings resources support Cohere Embed models for generating embedding vectors.

The models are available through the Mendix Cloud, leveraging AWS's highly secure Amazon Bedrock multi-tenant architecture. This architecture employs advanced logical isolation techniques to effectively segregate customer data, requests, and responses, ensuring a level of data protection that aligns with global security compliance requirements. Customer prompts, requests, and responses are neither stored nor used for model training. Your data remains your data.
Customers looking to leverage other models in addition to the above can also take advantage of Mendix's (Azure) OpenAI Connector, Amazon Bedrock Connector, and Mistral Connector to integrate numerous other models into their apps.
GenAI Units and Model Pricing
Text generation and embeddings resources use a flexible consumption model based on GenAI Units. When you provision a resource, you choose a monthly GenAI Unit capacity in Mendix Cloud Tokens. The system converts your selection to GenAI Units at a fixed rate of 100 GenAI Units per Cloud Token. All consumption is then deducted from this GenAI Units balance at a model-specific exchange rate. For more information, see Provisioning GenAI Resources.
For example, if you allocate 50 Cloud Tokens per month, your resource receives 5,000 GenAI Units per month. You can use any combination of available models against this balance. The exchange rates are as follows:
| Model Family | GenAI Units per 1M Input Tokens | GenAI Units per 1M Output Tokens |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Haiku 4.5 | 35.81 | 179.07 |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 107.44 | 537.21 |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | 107.44 | 537.21 |
| Claude Opus 4.6 | 179.07 | 895.35 |
| Claude Opus 4.7 | 179.07 | 895.35 |
| Claude Opus 4.8 | 179.07 | 895.35 |
| Cohere Embed V3 English | 30.23 | — |
| Cohere Embed V3 Multilingual | 30.23 | — |
| Cohere Embed V4 | 30.23 | — |
There are no fixed capacity tiers. You choose any Cloud Token amount that matches your expected usage and adjust it at any time. For more information, see the Adjusting Resource GenAI Unit Capacity section of GenAI Resources.
Accessing GenAI Resources
Company Admins can obtain access to GenAI resources through a self-service capability, enabling them to provision, deprovision, and manage resources independently from the Control Center. This enables faster provisioning and reduces manual dependency.
For Company Admins who do not meet the self-service prerequisites, GenAI resources can still be provisioned or deprovisioned by contacting a sales representative or Customer Success Manager (CSM) to order the existing stock keeping unit (SKU) associated with your Mendix subscription.
Provisioning GenAI Resources Using the Self-Service Capability
When using the self-service capability, Company Admins can manage the provisioning and deprovisioning of GenAI resources directly through the Control Center. They can provision the new resource, review it, and open it in a new tab of the Mendix Cloud GenAI portal. For more information, see GenAI Resources.
To provision GenAI resources successfully using self-service, ensure that you meet the requirements below:
- You have access to the Control Center as a Company Admin.
- You have sufficient free Mendix Cloud Tokens. These tokens are required to allocate GenAI Unit capacity. For more information, see Cloud Tokens.
For further details, see the Prerequisites section of GenAI Resources.
Provisioning GenAI Resources Without Using the Self-Service Capability
If the self-service capability is not available in your environment, you can still provision your GenAI resources by ordering the existing SKU associated with your Mendix subscription. To do so, contact your sales representative or CSM.
Knowledge Bases
Mendix Cloud Knowledge Base Resource Packs provide customers with an elastic, logically isolated vector database to use for standard Generative AI architectural patterns such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), semantic similarity search, and other Generative AI use cases. The Knowledge Bases on Mendix Cloud are based on AWS's highly secure Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases capability, combined with AWS' OpenSearch Serverless database—a widely adopted standard infrastructure for Generative AI Knowledge Bases on AWS, ensuring fast and accurate information retrieval.
Knowledge bases enable you to bring your own data for RAG, semantic similarity search, and other generative AI use cases:
- Make your app's data available through integration
- Connect to third-party information sources
- Manage knowledge base content and add metadata labels
Knowledge Bases are based on elastically scaling, serverless OpenSearch vector databases, to ensure high performance under load. The database is set up as a highly available cluster to ensure business continuity. Customer data is stored in logical isolation from other customers and is not used for model training, ensuring data security and privacy in compliance with industry standards.

FAQ
What Happens to Data Processed by Mendix Cloud GenAI Services?
For Mendix Cloud GenAI Model Resources using Anthropic’s Claude and Cohere’s Embed, neither Mendix nor its partners (Amazon, Anthropic, and Cohere) store any requests (prompts) or responses (answers, embeddings). Your data is not used for model training.
Data stored in GenAI Knowledge Base Resources resides in a logically isolated database, accessible only to you—the customer—via keys you can generate in the Portal.
How Does the Mendix Cloud GenAI Service Store and Use Data Sent to It?
Requests (prompts) sent to and responses (answers, embeddings) received from the models are not stored and not used for training. Only metadata—such as token input/output counts—is collected for logging, monitoring, metering, billing, product improvement, and maintenance purposes.
Data sent to the Knowledge Base (vectors, chunks) is stored in a logically isolated, fully secure vector database, following industry-standard practices. This data is exclusively accessible to you and not used by Mendix. Similar to model requests, only metadata about Knowledge Base usage is collected for logging, monitoring, metering, billing, product improvement, and maintenance purposes.
