都标5美元，账单差三成，OpenAI高管：token从来没法直接比价

Abstract

这篇文章讨论了AI模型API定价中的一个关键误区：不同模型间单token价格的直接比较并不准确。OpenAI高管指出，token是模型“切分”文本的单位，但各家的“刀法”（分词器）不同，导致同一段文字被切出的token数量差异巨大。例如，同样标价每百万token 5美元，GPT-5.6 Sol将一段文字切为766个token，而Claude Opus 5则切出1170个，实际输入费用相差约三成。 文章以披萨比喻：两家店披萨总价相同，但一家切8块，另一家切16块，每块单价不同，总块数决定了最终花费。同理，token数量直接影响账单，而分词效率受模型训练语料影响，对代码、数字等内容的处理差异可能更大。 除了分词差异，实际成本还受多个因素影响： 1. **缓存机制**：如GPT-5.6 Sol的缓存输入价极低，能显著降低重复内容的成本。 2. **输出定价**：输出token的价格往往高于输入，可能抵消输入端的节省。 3. **长上下文加价**：例如，当输入超过27.2万token时，GPT-5.6 Sol会对整次请求采用更高倍率计费。 4. **上下文窗口设置**：用户可手动调整上下文窗口大小，但更大的窗口可能导致历史记录更长、处理负担更重，更容易触发加价门槛。 文章强调，即使是同一厂商的新旧模型（如Claude 4.7前后），分词器不同也会导致token计数变化约30%，因此跨模型或跨厂商的简单比价意义有限。 最后，作者提出更合理的成本衡量标准应是“每次成功结果的成本”，建议开发者用自身实际任务进行端到端测试，综合评估分词效率、推理质量、输出长度和返工率等因素，才能真正判断哪个模型方案更经济。核心结论是：关注完成任务的总花费，而非单纯的单token单价。

同一段文字,扔给两个模型,一个切成766个token,另一个切成1170个。

甩出这组数字的,是OpenAI Codex负责人Tibo。

他的原话是:一个OpenAI的token,并不等于另一个模型的token。更低的单token价格,并不一定意味着更低的账单。

所有人都在用「每百万token多少美元」比价,好像token是个像克、像千瓦时那样的标准单位,但它不是。

为了让人更容易看懂,他还讲了个披萨的故事。

两张一模一样的披萨。

第一家切8块,每块2美元。第二家切16块,每块1.25美元。第二家招牌上写着更便宜,可整张吃下来要20美元,第一家只要16美元。

他补了一句:你的胃并不关心你刚才吃了几块。

每片更便宜,整张反而更贵。切法不同,单价就失去了可比性。

token是模型计费的最小单位,你可以把它理解成是模型切文字的「刀法」。

同一段话,刀法不一样,切出来的块数就不一样。切出多少块,按多少块收钱。块数越多,账单就越贵。

这次对照覆盖英文、技术文本、多语言和数字内容。

GPT-5.6 Sol的分词器用掉766个token,Claude Opus 5的估算结果是1170个。

同样一段文字,GPT-5.6 Sol的刀法少切出34.5%。

而两家的输入价,都是每百万token5美元。

单价一模一样,块数少了三成,输入费用也跟着少了三成。

麻烦也在这儿。

如果连「一个token有多大」这件事两家都对不齐,那所有人天天转来转去的那张API价格对比表,到底还算不算数?

同一段文字,为何数出两个数?

这是因为token这个单位,压根就没有统一的计量单位。

每家厂商自己训练分词器,自己决定把文本切成多大的碎片。

常见词,分词器整个吞下,生僻词,一个词会被拆成三四块。

拿英文举例最直观。the、and、is这种词天天出现,分词器给它们各留了一个专属编号,一个词就是一个token。

换成unbelievable这种长词,得拆成un、believ、able几块,一个词就占了三个token。

道理很简单:分词器是从训练语料里统计出来的,什么组合出现得频繁,什么组合就单独占一个位置。剩下的,只能用碎块拼。

所以「一段话有多少个token」,本质上是在问「这段话里的东西,在这家的语料里常不常见」。

而英文散文,恰恰是所有内容里差异最小的那一类。代码、JSON、长串数字,两家切出来的结果只会差得更远。

连自家的新旧模型,计数都不能通用

这并非某一家的问题。

Anthropic自家文档写得很明确:token计数是估算值,实际创建消息时用掉的输入token数量可能有小幅出入。

还给出了一个具体的数字。

Claude 4.7及之后的模型换了新分词器,同样的输入文本,产生的token数量比早期模型大约多30%,具体增幅取决于内容和工作负载形态。

Anthropic官方文档:Claude 4.7及之后的模型换用新分词器,同样的文本token数大约多出三成,别复用旧模型量出来的计数。

同一家公司,同一段文字,换代之后多出三成。

所以官方给出的建议是,想知道自己的工作负载差多少,就把同一个请求按两个模型各数一遍,比对返回的input_tokens。

别拿早期模型上量出来的数字估算成本。

自家两代模型之间,计数都不能复用。跨厂商拿「每百万token单价」直接对比,就更谈不上标准化了。

同样5美元,账单差在四处

相同的单价,同样的输入,账单到底差在哪儿?

第一处,刚才说的分词效率。同样一段文本,切出的token数不同,乘上同样的单价,付出去的钱自然不同。

第二处,缓存。

GPT-5.6 Sol的缓存输入价是0.50美元每百万token,只有标准输入价的十分之一。重复前缀多的工作负载,这一项就能把整个账单结构改写。

第三处,输出。

GPT-5.6 Sol输出30美元/百万token,Claude Opus 5是25美元起。

而在真实的智能体工作流里,输出token的权重往往比输入更狠。

也就是说,前面那省下的34.5%,很可能在这里被吐回去。

第四处,最容易被忽略,它就写在OpenAI自己的模型页上。GPT-5.6 Sol的输入超过272K token时,整次请求的输入按2倍计价,输出按1.5倍计价。

GPT-5.6 Sol官方模型页:输入5美元、缓存输入0.50美元、输出30美元,下面那行小字写着超过272K的加价规则。

不是超出的那部分加价,是整次请求适用更高倍率。

同一段代码,你在27万token的上下文里问它,和在28万token的上下文里问它,单价就换了一档。

这条限制来自官方自己的定价页,上下文越长,注意力和显存的开销涨得越快,长窗口从来不是免费的。

百万窗口开了,钱是慢慢流出去的

Tibo随后贴了第二条,教大家怎么在Codex里手动把上下文窗口开满。

打开~/.codex/config.toml,在所有section标题之前加三行:

model = "gpt-5.6-sol"

model_context_window = 1000000

model_auto_compact_token_limit = 900000

第一行选模型,第二行把上下文预算拉到100万token,第三行让自动压缩在90万token附近触发,留出一点余量。

存盘,重启客户端,开一个新会话,配置才生效。

不想动默认值的,也可以只在单次CLI会话里临时覆盖:

codex -m gpt-5.6-sol

-c model_context_window=1000000

-c model_auto_compact_token_limit=900000

这两个键在Codex官方配置参考里都能查到,作用和他写的一致。

model_context_window,当前模型可用的上下文窗口token数。

model_auto_compact_token_limit,触发自动历史压缩的阈值。

但文档只定义键的含义,并没有把「100万/90万」这组数值列成通用推荐值。

Tibo自己在帖子末尾也补了一句:默认值是他们仔细调过的。

那为什么这么多人想手动改?

GitHub上有一份用户实测报告说明了原因。

openai/codex仓库里的这份实测报告:Codex目录把窗口卡在372K,有效353.4K,而模型规格写的是1.05M

在特定版本的Codex客户端和ChatGPT Pro账户下,模型目录里给gpt-5.6-sol标注的窗口是372K,按95%折算,实际可用353.4K。而官方模型页标称的是1.05M。

买的是百万窗口,用起来只剩三分之一。

这份报告有明确的版本和账户限定,不能当成所有用户的现状,Tibo的配置帖发布时间还更晚。

还要澄清一件事:把配置改到100万,不会立刻产生100万token的费用。计费的从来是实际处理量。

可是压缩阈值一路推到90万,意味着一场长会话会背着越来越长的历史往前走,每一轮请求都要把这段历史重新过一遍。

窗口越大、压缩越晚,请求就越可能撞上刚才那个272K的门槛。

短对话里,分词器那点差异是小数点后面的事。会话拉到几十万token,历史记录反复带着走,再乘上一档更高的倍率,差异的小数点就变成了整数位。

钱不是一下子花掉的,是一轮一轮涨上去的。

下一个单位,是「每次成功」

Tibo那条帖子里还有一句话,被数字盖过去了:真正重要的是每次成功结果的成本(price per successful outcome)。

他还给了办法。基准测试可以当起点,但真要知道贵不贵,得拿自己的活儿去跑一遍。

这句话把比价的锚点换了。从「每百万token多少钱」,换到「跑完同一个任务总共花了多少钱」。

想知道两家在你手上到底谁更便宜,自己测一遍就行。

拿同一段原始文本、同样的语言配比、同样的工具定义,分别调用两家官方的计数接口拿到真实token数,再算上缓存命中、输出长度、推理长度和长上下文倍率,最后比谁把这件事干完花得更少。

分词效率只是这条链上的第一环。一个分词更省的模型,如果推理啰嗦、返工次数多,账单照样能反超回去。

以后该问的不是一百万token多少钱,是修好这个bug要多少钱。

Related Questions

Q为什么OpenAI高管说token之间不能直接比价？

A因为token是各家公司根据自己训练语料和分词器决定的文本切分单位，不同模型对同一段文本切出的token数量不同。即使每百万token单价相同，由于实际切出的token数量（即‘刀法’）有差异，最终账单金额也会有显著差别。

Q根据文章，同一段文字在不同模型中切出的token数量差异有多大？

A文章中给出的例子显示，同一段文字，GPT-5.6 Sol的分词器切出766个token，而Claude Opus 5切出1170个token。GPT-5.6 Sol比Claude Opus 5少切了约34.5%的token。

Q除了分词效率，导致不同模型账单差异的因素还有哪些？

A导致账单差异的因素主要有四个：1. 分词效率（切出的token数量不同）；2. 缓存价格（如GPT-5.6 Sol有更便宜的缓存输入）；3. 输出价格（不同模型输出单价不同）；4. 长上下文加价规则（如GPT-5.6 Sol在输入超过272K token后，整次请求按更高倍率计价）。

Q为什么文章说跨厂商比较‘每百万token单价’没有标准化意义？

A因为token的大小（即一段文字被切分成多少块）是由各家厂商的分词器独立决定的，没有统一的计量标准。甚至同一家公司不同代际的模型（如Claude早期模型与4.7之后的新模型），对同一段文字的token计数都可能相差约30%。因此，单纯比较单价无法反映实际使用成本。

Q根据OpenAI高管的观点，衡量模型成本的更有效指标是什么？

A更有效的指标是‘每次成功结果的成本’（price per successful outcome）。这意味着应该比较完成同一个具体任务（如修好一个bug、生成一份报告）的总花费，这综合了分词效率、输出长度、推理准确性、是否需要返工等所有实际成本因素，而不是只看每百万token的单价。

CFTC Chairman Reveals Plans: The Next Frontier, Crypto, Computing Power Markets, and Prediction Markets

CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig outlined a regulatory roadmap targeting three new frontiers: crypto assets, AI compute power, and prediction markets. Regarding crypto, while preferring comprehensive legislation like the CLARITY Act, the CFTC is preparing to use its existing authority to potentially designate platforms as regulated "Crypto Asset Markets" if Congress fails to act. For AI, the focus is on developing markets for GPU compute power, treating it as a tradable commodity for price discovery and risk management. For prediction markets, the CFTC is moving beyond the "gambling" debate to propose specific rules for event contracts, focusing on product listing standards, market manipulation prevention, and retail investor protection. The chairman emphasized a consistent philosophy: establishing clear regulatory frameworks is essential for fostering responsible innovation in these emerging financial areas.

Nethermind Moves Cross-Chain Node Operations From LayerZero To Chainlink CCIP

Ethereum engineering firm Nethermind has ceased its participation as a Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) participant for LayerZero and will now operate its cross-chain node operations on Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). As a well-known infrastructure provider, Nethermind's decision adds a credible name to CCIP's operator set, bolstering Chainlink's positioning as a secure, institutionally-focused interoperability standard. The move highlights the increasing scrutiny on cross-chain security and the importance of trusted node operators. However, it represents one major provider's infrastructure choice based on its own priorities and risk assessment, not a market-wide replacement. LayerZero remains a prominent player in the competitive cross-chain messaging landscape. The significance of Nethermind's migration will be clearer if other operators follow suit, potentially strengthening CCIP's position. For now, it signifies a notable credibility boost for Chainlink's cross-chain offering while the broader interoperability race continues.

JPMorgan Research Report Analysis: Moderna's INT Trial Meets Endpoints, but Market Already Priced In

On August 19, J.P. Morgan (JPM) published a research report analyzing Moderna's recent Phase III trial success for its Individualized Neoantigen Therapy (INT), developed in partnership with Merck, in adjuvant melanoma. The trial met its primary endpoint of significantly improved recurrence-free survival and the key secondary endpoint of distant metastasis-free survival. While JPM acknowledged the strong clinical value of these results, particularly the prevention of distant metastasis, the bank stated that this success was widely anticipated, with an 85% prior probability of success, and is already reflected in Moderna's current market valuation. Following the announcement, Moderna's stock rose in pre-market trading. However, JPM maintained its Underweight rating and $40 price target, implying approximately 36% downside from the current price of ~$63. The core rationale is that the success in adjuvant melanoma, a relatively small market in immuno-oncology, is fully priced in. Moderna's future valuation hinges entirely on INT's ability to demonstrate similar efficacy across broader cancer indications. JPM's valuation model incorporates only a modest risk-adjusted value (~$3/share) for the melanoma approval. Approximately $15/share of its target price is attributed to INT's potential in other cancer types. The report identifies upcoming data readouts in non-melanoma cancers (e.g., lung, head & neck, renal) as the critical variable that will determine the platform's ultimate value. Upside risks include better-than-expected data in these new indications, while downside risks involve clinical failures, regulatory delays, or commercial underperformance. In conclusion, JPM views the pre-market stock move as driven by short covering and trading sentiment rather than a fundamental re-rating. The bank remains bearish, arguing that Moderna must now prove INT's efficacy as a platform technology beyond melanoma to justify its current market cap.

Treasury Department Directly Intervenes to Suppress Long-Term Interest Rates

The article discusses the U.S. Treasury's recent direct intervention to suppress long-term bond yields through buyback operations. While distinct from traditional Yield Curve Control (YCC), this move is interpreted as direct government intervention in its own financing costs. The author emphasizes the short-term tactical nature of this action and contrasts it with the Federal Reserve's upcoming, potentially divergent, policy stance at Jackson Hole. The core issue is framed as a long-term U.S. strategic dilemma: managing high deficit levels. The analysis argues that deficit reduction cannot realistically come from spending cuts or traditional industries, but must rely on achieving higher economic growth driven by technological breakthroughs. Current monetary tightening, while possibly curbing yields and inflation in the short term, is seen as potentially counterproductive to this necessary long-term investment in technology and supply chain resilience. The piece draws historical parallels, placing the current intervention between the 2000-2002 Treasury buybacks (for liquidity) and larger-scale Fed-led "Operation Twist" maneuvers. The effectiveness of the Treasury's action is deemed limited without Federal Reserve cooperation, which would signify a more significant policy shift. Ultimately, the author views such technical, bureaucratic interventions as treating symptoms rather than the underlying disease of the U.S. economy's structural challenges and "K-shaped" divergence. The conclusion suggests that sustained yield suppression by the Fed, combined with specific geopolitical outcomes, could serve as a catalyst for a more profound discussion on broader U.S. and dollar trajectory.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation.

Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products.
