Yep. Non-English text gets a much bigger cost drop and speedup compared to English. Has always been a bummer that GPT-4 is like 5x slower and more expensive in Japanese, etc.

Just found there's a whole section about that in this post: https://openai.com/index/hello-gpt-4o/

It says "Japanese 1.4x fewer tokens (from 37 to 26)" - some other languages get much bigger improvements though, best is "Gujarati 4.4x fewer tokens (from 145 to 33)".
