Understanding Tokens in AI
Tokens serve as fundamental units that large language models, such as ChatGPT, utilize to process and understand text. Each token can be a portion of a word, a full word, or even punctuation, hence breaking down complex language into smaller, manageable parts. For example, the word 'strawberry' can be divided into three tokens, demonstrating that language models operate on numeric values assigned to these tokens instead of seeing them as traditional words. This mechanism allows models to better analyze context and respond accordingly, clarifying that their behavior reflects computational rules rather than human-like understanding.
