Calibrated · measured on the vendor's tokenizer · 2026-06-10 Auto-counts as you type
Counts use a chars-per-token calibration measured on the vendor's own published tokenizer (MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1, 2026-06-10). English prose is typically within a few percent; code and non-Latin scripts tokenize heavier. For billing-exact counts use the vendor's count-tokens API.
