AI Token

Definitions

1. A token as used by AI models, typically representing a chunk of text that counts toward context limits, cost, and generation length. Token counts matter because they influence prompt size, latency, memory use, and billing.

   In plain English: A unit of text processing used by AI models.

   Example: "The team trimmed boilerplate from the system prompt to save AI tokens on every request."
