The independent index for what AI capability costs

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

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. Above 100 means a unit of AI capability is cheaper and more efficient than that baseline. Below 100 means it is more expensive and less efficient than that baseline.

The TKX is an index, not a router. We don't send your traffic.
