Definition
The cost per token refers to the pricing model used by many AI services, where users are charged based on the number of tokens (words or parts of words) processed by the AI.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
The significantly lower cost per token for models like Minimax M2.5 is a key differentiator and a major selling point compared to more expensive premium AI services, making AI more accessible for widespread use.
