WhatA benchmarking tool that lets developers compare real token costs across model versions and providers, tracking tokenizer changes, hidden inflation, and true cost-per-task over time.
SignalDevelopers are blindsided by tokenizer changes between model versions that silently inflate their API bills by 30-45%, and there is no standardized way to audit or compare these costs across providers.
Why NowMajor model providers are actively changing tokenizers between versions (e.g., Opus 4.6 to 4.7), and enterprises are scaling AI spend into six-figure monthly bills with no visibility into cost drift.
MarketAI engineering teams and enterprises spending $10K+/month on LLM APIs; TAM is the $10B+ AI infrastructure monitoring market; competitors like Helicone and LangSmith track usage but none focus specifically on tokenizer-level cost forensics.
MoatHistorical tokenizer data and cost baselines across model versions create a unique dataset that becomes more valuable over time as more versions ship.
