    I remember one time in a research project I switched out the tokeniser to see what impact it might have on my output. Spent about a day re-running and the difference was minimal. I imagine it’s wholly the same thing.

    *Disclaimer: I don’t actually imagine it is wholly the same thing.

      there’s a research result that the precise tokeniser makes bugger all difference, it’s almost entirely the data you put in

      because LLMs are lossy compression for text
