LLM Token Counter

Count tokens for popular LLM models with real-time analysis and cost estimation

Google Gemini 1.5 Flash Token Counter

A free, real-time token counter for Google's Gemini 1.5 Flash model. Optimize prompts, manage API costs, and leverage its large context window effectively.

Introducing Gemini 1.5 Flash

Gemini 1.5 Flash is a lightweight and cost-efficient model in the Gemini family, designed for high-volume, high-speed tasks. While being more compact, it inherits the key architectural innovations of its larger sibling, Gemini 1.5 Pro, including a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture and an enormous 1 million token context window. This makes it exceptionally good at processing long documents, extensive chat histories, or large codebases with remarkable speed.

Why Token Counting is Essential for Gemini 1.5 Flash

Even with a massive context window, token counting remains critical:

  • Cost Efficiency: API calls are priced per token. Knowing your token count helps you manage your budget effectively, especially for high-frequency tasks.
  • Performance Optimization: Although the context window is vast, sending unnecessarily large prompts can still impact latency. A concise prompt leads to a faster response.
  • Strategic Prompting: Understanding the token cost of different parts of your prompt allows you to strategically include or summarize information to make the best use of the 1 million token context window.

How to Use the Counter

Simply type or paste your text into the input area. The counter will instantly calculate the number of tokens based on Google's official tokenizer for the Gemini 1.5 series. This allows for rapid experimentation and optimization of your prompts.
