Bye-Bye Tokens! 👋 BLT Bites into Byte-Level LLM Scaling 🚀
Unlike previous byte-level models, BLT uses dynamic, entropy-based patching 🧩, grouping bytes based on predictability 📊 and allocating compute accordingly ⚙️. This allows it to scale efficiently 📈, matching token-based models like Llama 3 🦙 at large scales.
