Which tokenizer encoder does GPT-4-Turbo (gpt-4-1106-preview) use?

I'm trying to determine the tokenizer encoder used by the GPT-4-Turbo family, particularly for the gpt-4-1106-preview variant.
From what I’ve observed, it appears to use the cl100k_base encoder—the same as GPT-4—but I haven't been able to find this documented anywhere.
Any clarification or additional insights would be greatly appreciated.

Based on current available information, the GPT-4 Turbo family—including the gpt-4-1106-preview variant—uses the same tokenizer as GPT-4, which is the cl100k_base encoder. Although the documentation doesn’t explicitly list the encoder for gpt-4-1106-preview, the consistency across GPT-4 and its turbo variants has been the accepted assumption.
If you need additional verification or encounter any unexpected behavior (especially as newer versions are developed), it’s a good idea to test tokenization in your environment or check for updates in the OpenAI documentation.
