A browser-based toolkit for counting tokens and estimating LLM costs across major providers and open models.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The toolkit separates exact tokenizer counts from character-ratio estimates when a public tokenizer is unavailable. Its batch mode accepts multiple local files, while the open-model section downloads real tokenizers once from Hugging Face and then runs them offline in the browser. The API returns token count, input cost, and context-fit fields, but remains beta with no published request limits. A team dashboard shown elsewhere is a design exercise using randomly generated data, not connected usage reporting.
