A live index for AI tokens

See what a token is worth.

An index is a published number the market prices against — a benchmark for a barrel of oil, not a dashboard of your own bill. The TKX is that number for AI capability. It grounds quality to cost so you can value one model against another. The index is live. So is the calculator.

What an index is

The TKX is an index, not a router. We don’t send your traffic. Cambent recommends; you decide.

An index is one published number that makes unlike things comparable. The TKX does that for AI tokens. It scores quality and cost across reasoning, code, extraction, and classification, and puts every model on one scale. We set the index at 100 when we started. Above 100 means the same unit of AI costs less than it did then. Below 100 means it costs more.
