Token

A token is the small chunk of text an LLM actually processes — roughly a word or part of a word — and it's the unit both context windows and AI usage costs are measured in.

When people talk about a model's size or cost, they're almost always talking in tokens: how many it can read at once (its context window), and how many it used answering you (which is usually what you pay for).

Every AI run in Masterforce returns real token usage and cost/cost-estimate metadata alongside its result — not an estimate, the actual figure for that specific job.
