Token Count

Token Count is a command-line utility that counts the number of tokens in a text string, file, or directory, similar to the Unix wc utility. It uses the OpenAI tiktoken library for tokenization and is compatible with GPT-3.5-turbo or any other OpenAI model token counts.

Installation

To install Token Count, run the following command in your terminal:

pip install token-count

Usage

Token Count has three main options:

Count tokens in a text string:

token-count --text "Your text here"

Count tokens in a file:

token-count --file path/to/your/file.txt

Count tokens in a directory (recursively):

token-count --directory path/to/your/directory

You can provide any combination of these options. Token Count will print the token count for each input type.

Additionally, you can provide any OpenAI model(gpt-4) to get token count according to the model. By default it uses "gpt-3.5-turbo".

token-count --model_name "gpt-4"
