Glossary term
A chunk of text, such as a word or word piece, that models read and generate.
A token is the unit of text a model reads and writes: a whole short word, part of a longer word, a number or punctuation. In English a token averages roughly three-quarters of a word.
Models see integers, not letters; a tokenizer converts text to token IDs and back.
Different models split text differently.
Count tokens
import tiktoken
enc = tiktoken.get_encoding("cl100k_base")
print(len(enc.encode("How many tokens is this?")))Pricing, speed and context limits are all counted in tokens.
