← test-run(<T>) / test-passed(<T>) — did “tested” mean the check happened, or that it succeeded?
Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-6.9375 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -7 to -6.9375
The result is on the helpful side of this metric's neutral point.
