Here's a way to do it in your own code: https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples...

[bilater → Cyphase]

yup - I use tiktoken under the hood. :)

[artdigital]

If this is for ChatGPT/OpenAI GPT models, why not just use the official tokenizer? https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

[computerex → artdigital]

Because it's really an ad.

[hgsgm → computerex]

Flagged submission for being a low-effort ad (it doesn't even work).

[bilater → hgsgm]

had hit a rate limit - is back to working now.

[Zolomon]

Nice way to capture prompts to see what others are working on.

[bilater → Zolomon]

lol - dont care.

[lionkor → bilater]

What do you mean?

[hgsgm → lionkor]

OP is just promoting his chat bot; doesn't care about user privacy

[KyeRussell → lionkor]

I’d interpret this as OP not caring about this cynical accusation.

[nickthegreek → KyeRussell]

Well they could state that they aren't storing submissions if that was the case. But they didn't.

[bilater → nickthegreek]

or perhaps OP thinks so little of this take they didn't bother to reply to the point

The major costs come from continuing a conversation in a chat. You pay for the entire existing conversation, because that becomes the prompt for the next question. This tool doesn't reflect that.

[KyeRussell → WA]

Not all use of GPT models is conversational. In fact, I’d put money on most uses where you’re paying per token (read: not ChatGPT) aren’t conversational.

What's the difference between this and OpenAI's tool?

[akiselev]

The AI MLM has arrived.

[bilater]

Apologies to anyone hit with Loading. The rate limit was reached a lot quicker than I expected and it brought down everything while I slept. Back to working now.

[Cyphase]

Can't load the site, there's a TLS connection error. Firefox says PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR. cURL and wget also give errors.

[bilater → Cyphase]

maybe you hit the rate limit...can you try again?

[Cyphase → bilater]

It never loaded for me. Just tried again, still getting a TLS error.

[kentrf → Cyphase]

It's probably because of the .xyz tld.

Your ISP may be blocking it, because it's rife with spam and other malicious activities.

[Cyphase → kentrf]

Nope, I can access other .xyz's.

[quickthrower2]

Another AI HN submission that times out :shrug:

[hombre_fatal]

You can do this in pure javascript with the cl100k data. Plenty of impl on github to copy and paste.

[liminal-dev]

Doesn't work for me sadly.

[bilater → liminal-dev]

Sorry - the rate limit got hit. Please try again.

[liminal-dev → bilater]

It works now. It's a nice little tool. Would be great to have the ability to test the cost of a response as well, and optionally combine the costs of the input/output.

[sammy2255]

Stuck on Loading

[bilater → sammy2255]

sorry - hit a rate limit. Should be working now.
