💡 OpenAI GPT Token Tips for Lazy Marketers
- • OpenAI Tokenization: GPT models use BPE (Byte Pair Encoding). On average, 1 token ≈ 0.75 words in English. Special characters and emojis consume more tokens.
- • OpenAI Batch API: Save 50% on costs with OpenAI's Batch API for non-urgent requests with 24-hour completion window.
- • GPT-4 vs GPT-3.5: GPT-3.5-Turbo costs 20x less than GPT-4. For marketing copy and simple tasks, GPT-3.5 often suffices.
- • Context Windows: GPT-4 Turbo supports 128K tokens, GPT-3.5 Turbo supports 16K tokens. Always leave ~20% buffer for responses.
- • Token Optimization: Use the official OpenAI tiktoken library for exact counts. This estimator provides ±15-20% accuracy for quick assessments.
- • Cost Management: Set usage limits in your OpenAI account. Monitor daily spend and implement request throttling for production use.
