Content-aware token estimates

improved
  • The calculator classifies pasted text (prose, markdown, code, JSON, URLs, CJK) and prices each class at its own measured ratio — realistic mixed content estimates 25–45% higher, and more honestly, than a flat ratio.
  • Per-vendor tokenizer ratios with evidence labels: vendor-published, derived from vendor figures, or measured against our public CC0 corpus.

Claude 4.7-generation tokenizer

fixed
  • Cost estimates for Claude Opus 4.7, 4.8, Sonnet 5, and Fable 5 were under-reported by roughly 30% — these models tokenize ~2.5 characters per token against ~3.4 for earlier Claude models. Corrected from Anthropic's published figures.

Pricing changelog and daily snapshots

added
  • A dated, append-only log of observed changes to model pricing, cache rates, and context windows, recorded daily.
  • Provider logos in the comparison tables, MIT-sourced with per-file provenance.
