# Tokenizer tax

The cross-vendor tokenizer-inflation figure is unverified in this repo. This page exists to refuse a percent until a public corpus exists. We will not print one.

As of 2026-11-05. Public lens does not apply; these are price-shape facts.

We will not print a tokenizer-tax percent. The figure circulating as “about 30%” is unverified in this repository. Until a public corpus exists, the honest page is this refusal.
