AI & LLM

Token (LLM)

The basic unit of text that large language models process, typically representing parts of words, whole words, or characters.

Understanding Token (LLM)

Tokens are how LLMs read and generate text. Most models process text in chunks of ~4 characters per token. Understanding tokens is important for AI visibility because models have token limits (context windows) that determine how much content they can process at once. Concise, well-structured content ensures AI systems can fully read and understand your pages.
