How Token Counting Works
Tokens are the basic units that LLMs use to process text. Roughly:
- 1 token ≈ 4 characters
- 1 token ≈ 0.75 words
This tool uses the official tiktoken library from OpenAI for accurate tokenization.
Why Count Tokens?
- Estimate costs: Most LLM APIs price by token
- Stay within limits: Different models have different context windows
- Optimize prompts: Reduce token count to save money and improve response time
