What people ask us when comparing GPT, Claude, Gemini and the rest.
A token is the unit an AI model processes: usually between half a word and a full word. Rule of thumb: 1,000 tokens ≈ 750 English words. A 20-word sentence is about 26 tokens; a 300-word email is around 400. Models charge for input tokens (your prompt) and output tokens (their answer) separately.
