I'm more and more confident that tokenization will be gone.
Humans don't think in "tokens".
Tokens are hardcoded abstractions in LLMs that lead to weird behavior: LLMs can solve PhD-level math questions but cannot answer "Is 9.9 > 9.11?"
Meta is shifting LLMs to LCMs (Large Concept Models), changing "next-token prediction" to "next-concept prediction". A "concept" is treated as a sentence, representing an abstract idea or action.
Two weeks ago, Meta also published the "Byte Latent Transformer", a new architecture that processes raw bytes grouped into patches instead of relying on tokenization.
My intuition says LCM is probably better at reasoning and modalities.

A prompt that helps Claude 3.5 Sonnet beat OpenAI's o1 model in reasoning!
Can @AnthropicAI Claude 3.5 sonnet outperform @OpenAI o1 in reasoning? Combining Dynamic Chain of Thoughts, reflection, and verbal reinforcement, existing LLMs like Claude 3.5 Sonnet can be prompted to increase test-time compute and match reasoning strong models like OpenAI o1. 👀
TL;DR:
🧠 Combines Dynamic Chain of thoughts + reflection + verbal reinforcement prompting
📊 Benchmarked against tough academic tests (JEE Advanced, UPSC, IMO, Putnam)
🏆 Claude 3.5 Sonnet outperformes GPT-4 and matched O1 models
🔍 LLMs can create internal simulations and take 50+ reasoning steps for complex problems
📚 Works for smaller, open models like Llama 3.1 8B +10% (Llama 3.1 8B 33/48 vs GPT-4o 36/48)
❌ Didn’t benchmark like MMLU, MMLU pro, or GPQA due to computing and budget constraints
📈 High token usage - Claude Sonnet 3.5 used around 1 million tokens for just 7 questions

The root of inner healing is in forgiveness. When you forgive people, you limit the actions of entities that you do not like, in your life.

Startups should think like Nike.
Sell a lifestyle.
Sell a goal.
Sell a story.
Celebrate your customers.
Because brand affinity is a defensible moat.

Learning useState and useEffect was one of the weirdest things about learning React.
I watched so many tutorials, read articles, and even read the docs! I just couldn't understand it and then one day it just CLICKED!
