About this lesson

Today, we are going to understand Tokenization and why they are essential for Large Language Models. Large Language Models do NOT read words, they read tokens represented as numerical IDs. So, we need to create tokens and provide numerical IDs to them. Tokenization is the process of breaking down text into smaller units called tokens, which can be words, subwords, or characters. #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #ai #llm #tokenization Software engineers like you join Outcome School AI and Machine Learning Program to achieve the outcome that is a high-paying tech job in AI and Machine Learning.
