Does image URL vs Base64 affect token count?

It is very unclear if providing an image via base64 vs url affect input token count. I know it affects bandwidth, but I don’t know if I should just upload images to some dummy site of mine and provide links instead of direct base64.

Hi and welcome to the Developer Forum!

It should be the same count per image, I’ve not actually done the test myself, but it should be identical.
