Cohere Tokenize API
The Cohere Tokenize API splits input text into tokens using the tokenizer associated with a specified model. It returns both the token strings and their corresponding token IDs. This is useful for understanding how text will be processed by Cohere models, estimating token counts for billing purposes, and debugging input formatting issues.
