Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the 4-characters-per-token rule?
It's a reasonable approximation for English text, but actual tokenization varies by model and language — code, non-English text, and unusual formatting often tokenize differently. For exact counts, use the specific model provider's official tokenizer.
Why do different languages tokenize differently?
Tokenizers are typically trained primarily on English text, so non-Latin scripts and less common languages often require more tokens per character or word than English does.
What is this useful for?
Common uses include estimating API costs before sending a large document, checking if text fits within a model's context window, and budgeting for bulk text-processing projects.
