We should do a blog post on this. It could really help benchmark LLMs

On evaluating LLMs and token-scale confusions
By
–
Hard to say for LLMs because there’s no “all else being equal” — there aren’t any comparably large byte-token models. At smaller scales, I’d expect “Scunthorpe” style problems — confusions explainable as the result of spelling coincidences. I’m just guessing here though.

Tokenization issues and GPT-4 digit tokenization
By
–
Bytes are still tokens. You’d still have tokenization issues, just new and likely worse ones. Note digits are tokenized specially in GPT-4 as one token per pair. Even in that special case they didn’t go down to single digits.
