In this post, we highlight the desire to replace tokenization with a general method that better leverages compute and data. We’ll see tokenization’s role, its fragility and we’ll build a case for removing it. After understanding the design space, we’ll explore the potential impacts of a recent promising candidate (Byte Latent Transformer) and build strong intuitions around new core mechanics.

There’s some fun computational geometry in my latest artwork, and in this article I’ll walk through how I take a scramble of disconnected paths and turn them into closed shapes, using half-edges and a planar graph.
