Question
📝 **Question:** Why does Claude charge per token, not per word? 📋 Pick the right answer. 💡 **Hint:** Re-read the theory above if unsure.
A
Token pricing is the only model compatible with the OpenAI SDK contract that downstream tooling already implements.
B
Tokens are what the model sees — word boundaries don't exist for the model. Charging by tokens reflects real compute.
C
Per-word pricing under-charges scripts with verbose function signatures and over-charges short natural-language prompts heavily.
D
Token billing aligns with the streaming SSE protocol — each `data:` chunk carries one token plus its log-probability.
