How accurate is the Doubao 1.6 Lite count?
ByteDance Doubao (火山引擎) does not publish a public tokenizer, so this page reports an estimate — accurate to roughly 5–10% on English text and widening on code or mixed Chinese-English prompts. Treat it as a budgeting number, not an invoice number. If you need invoice-grade counts, count with the exact OpenAI tokenizer on the main calculator and read the gap as your margin of safety.
