What are tokens?

Tokens are the basic building blocks of text used by AI models. Each word in your message is broken into tokens, with approximately 4 English characters equaling 1 token. The number of tokens in a message determines the Energy required to process it.

For example:

• "Hello, Phi! How are you today?" = ~9 tokens

Please reference OpenAI’s tokenizer tool to estimate the token count for your messages. However, different AI models use different tokenizers and the actual number of tokens may be different.
