How does tokenization work?
AI models don't read text like humans. They split content into tokens — pieces of words, whole words, or even spaces and punctuation. In English, 1 token is approximately 4 characters. Token count determines usage cost and context limit for each model.
This tool uses an estimate based on the BPE (Byte Pair Encoding) algorithm, similar to the cl100k_base tokenizer used by GPT-4. Accuracy is approximately 95%.
