What Is Tokenization? How AI Turns Text Into Tokens
SMRTR summary
Tokenization is how AI models break down text into smaller units called tokens, which are then converted into numbers the model can process mathematically. Instead of reading words like humans do, AI systems work with these token chunks, which can be whole words, parts of words, or even single characters. This process affects a model's speed, accuracy, and cost.
