Atomic Token Tracking

Our system achieves 1:1 parity with upstream API token counts through:

class TokenTracker:
  // Separate counters for input/output
  input_counts: Map<ModelType, Integer>
  output_counts: Map<ModelType, Integer>
  
  // Matches upstream API counting precisely
  method add_input_tokens(text):
    count = precise_token_count(text, model_type)
    input_counts[model_type] += count
  
  method add_output_tokens(text):
    count = precise_token_count(text, model_type)
    output_counts[model_type] += count

Intelligent Token Counting

The counting system features:

1. Language-Specific Calibration

function precise_token_count(text, model_type):
  base_count = tiktoken_count(text)  // Standard method
  calibrated = base_count * calibration_factor(text)
  return calibrated

function calibration_factor(text):
  // Chinese characters are more efficient
  chinese_ratio = calculate_chinese_ratio(text)
  if chinese_ratio > 0.1:
    return 0.82 + (0.18 * (1 - chinese_ratio))
  
  // Emojis are counted more compactly
  if contains_emojis(text):
    return 0.65
  
  // Code gets slight adjustment
  if is_likely_code(text):
    return 1.08
  
  return 1.0

2. Image Token Calculation

function count_image_tokens(width, height, detail_level):
  if detail_level == 'high':
    return min(width*height/784, 5120)
  else:
    return min(width*height/784, 1312)

Dual-Phase Billing

Input and output are billed separately with perfect upstream matching:
