On average, code yields approximately 10.2 tokens per line in o4-mini (o200k_base tokenizer). Indentation, brackets, camelCase variable names, and comments slightly increase token density compared to plain English text. 100,000 lines of code produces approximately 1,020,000 tokens.
Sending 100,000 lines of code as context and generating a thorough code review with recommendations costs approximately $2.02. Utilizing prompt caching on repeat turns or static repository definitions drops this to $1.178.
o4-mini has a context window of 256,000 tokens. 100,000 lines of code consumes 398.44% of its total available context.
