llmtools is a vendor-neutral toolkit for working with large language models — token counting, cost estimation and model comparison, computed in your browser. OpenAI token counts are exact, using the same encoding the model does (o200k_base for GPT-4o, cl100k_base for GPT-4/3.5); Claude and Gemini counts are labelled approximations, since neither publishes a tokenizer that runs client-side. Model pricing is read from OpenRouter’s public catalogue once a day. Nothing you type is ever transmitted anywhere.
