"Since 2017, SAP has offered AS ABAP Developer Edition as a download. However, given the age of this version, regretfully we have decided to withdraw it, both here and in the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (CAL), in approximately 5 months, on Wednesday, 30th September, 2026. "...https://www.sap.com/products/try-sap/trials-downloads.html

on a positive note, found this the other day and have no idea how to use it.

the concept of calculator should be simple enough: https://ai-core-calculator.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/uimodule/index.html(#/gen or #/core)

any pointers from the fellow SAPai coffee sippers? have you used it yet? reminds me a little of cloud pricing but it can't be the same thing.
