Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/7447

Recently, we integrated Microsoft Word with Ollama through a local Word Add-in. You can view a demo here. We're planning to add a feature to count tokens before calling '/v1/chat/completions,' allowing users to see the remaining tokens available for inference. Our question is: Is it possible for Ollama to count the tokens of the prompt before calling '/v1/chat/completions'? Thank you for your advice.

With a little effort, you can count tokens in the client if #3582 doesn't get merged: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/7376#issuecomment-2439749060
