That's something I'm wondering as well. Not sure how it is with frontier models, but what you can see on Huggingface, the "standard" method to distinguish tokens still seems to be special delimiter tokens or even just fo

This is really cool! Some nitpicks/ideas: A few of the markers seem to be misplaced. I just noticed with the Cirith Ungol markers and Henneth Annûn, which are too far north and east compared to their location in the books (Cirith Ungol

Yeah no. The current "debate" from what I understand is about mobile homes and any kind of temporary shelter that is more durable than a tent. The Israeli government straight up said "no, mobile homes count as 'reconstru

Problem is solved for Israel, right. Gaza is still in ruins, cut off from everything, there is a massive humanitarian crisis, the systematic dispossession campaign in the West Bank is accelerating, but I guess all of that just affects Pales

No, my point is that "statistical next-token predictor" is an empty phrase that doesn't really explain much. Markov chains are statistical next-token predictors as well and nevertheless, no one would confuse a markov chain wi

Both GP's and your example in effect mean "I'm fine with other people doing this, but I don't want to have anything to do with it, or at least be able to decide case-by-case." Which is a valid stance IMO. In the O
