Q

What are Tokens?

A

The unit of measure that is used to calcualte consumption of characters into and out of a LLM. Tokens can be thought of as pieces of words. Before the API processes the prompts, the input is broken down into tokens. These tokens are not cut up exactly where the words start or end - tokens can include trailing spaces and even sub-words. Here are some helpful rules of thumb for understanding tokens in terms of lengths: 1 token ~= 4 chars in English, 1 token ~= ¾ words, 100 tokens ~= 75 words
