### Current Limitations
|
| 287 |
|
|
|
|
| 164 |
Unlike traditional tokenizers that use fixed vocabularies, B2NL learns directly from bytes and generates dense embeddings
|
| 165 |
that capture semantic meaning while achieving 16:1 compression.
|
| 166 |
|
| 167 |
+
### 🔬 How the 16:1 Compression Works
|
| 168 |
|
| 169 |
+
```
|
| 170 |
+
Input: 48 bytes (including padding/special tokens)
|
| 171 |
+
↓
|
| 172 |
+
Processing: Byte-level analysis with learned boundaries
|
| 173 |
+
↓
|
| 174 |
+
Output: 3 embedding vectors (768-dim each)
|
| 175 |
+
```
|
| 176 |
|
| 177 |
+
**Key Innovation**: The model learns to identify **semantic boundaries** within the 48-byte window.
|
| 178 |
+
Instead of splitting at arbitrary points, it discovers natural language units (words, morphemes, phrases)
|
| 179 |
+
and encodes them into meaningful embeddings. This is why "Hello, world!" (13 bytes) still generates
|
| 180 |
+
3 embeddings - the model pads to 48 bytes but learns which parts contain actual information.
|
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
+
### 🎯 Why This Matters
|
| 183 |
+
|
| 184 |
+
1. **Semantic Preservation**: Unlike byte-pair encoding (BPE) which can split words arbitrarily,
|
| 185 |
+
B2NL respects semantic boundaries learned from data.
|
| 186 |
+
|
| 187 |
+
2. **Language Agnostic**: No vocabulary needed - works equally well for all 204 languages.
|
| 188 |
+
Korean "안녕하세요" and English "Hello" are processed the same way.
|
| 189 |
+
|
| 190 |
+
3. **Predictable Costs**: Always 16:1 compression means predictable API costs for LLMs.
|
| 191 |
+
48 bytes → 3 embeddings, always.
|
| 192 |
+
|
| 193 |
+
4. **Inter-modal Bridge**: These embeddings can be used as a universal representation
|
| 194 |
+
for cross-modal tasks (text→image, text→audio, etc.)
|
| 195 |
+
|
| 196 |
+
### 🎯 Real-World Applications
|
| 197 |
+
|
| 198 |
+
- **LLM Cost Reduction**: 75% fewer tokens = 75% cost savings on API calls
|
| 199 |
+
- **Multilingual Search**: Single embedding space for 204 languages
|
| 200 |
+
- **Edge AI**: Compressed representations for bandwidth-limited IoT devices
|
| 201 |
+
- **Cross-modal AI**: Universal embeddings for multimodal models
|
| 202 |
+
|
| 203 |
+
### ⚙️ Technical Architecture
|
| 204 |
+
|
| 205 |
+
- **Encoder**: 6 layers, progressive dimension reduction
|
| 206 |
+
- **Decoder**: 6 layers with cross-attention, reconstructs from embeddings
|
| 207 |
+
- **Boundary Learning**: Gumbel-Softmax for differentiable boundary detection
|
| 208 |
+
- **Total Parameters**: 244.7M (137.9M encoder + 106.8M decoder)
|
| 209 |
+
- **Training**: FLORES-200 (204 languages), 100 epochs, teacher forcing
|
| 210 |
+
|
| 211 |
+
### ⚠️ Current Limitations
|
| 212 |
+
|
| 213 |
+
- **Mode**: Autoregressive (teacher forcing only) - ~500ms per generation
|
| 214 |
+
- **Long Texts**: Quality decreases for texts > 48 bytes (sliding window limitation)
|
| 215 |
+
- **Coming Soon**: Non-autoregressive training (November 2025) for 10x speedup

## Understanding B2NL Tokenization
|
| 299 |
|
| 300 |
+
### 🔬 The Core Innovation: Learned Semantic Boundaries
|
| 301 |
|
| 302 |
+
Traditional tokenizers use fixed rules (BPE, WordPiece) that can split words arbitrarily.
|
| 303 |
+
B2NL learns to identify **semantic units** within byte sequences:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 304 |
|
| 305 |
+
```
|
| 306 |
+
Traditional BPE: "안녕하세요" → "안", "녕", "하", "세", "요" (5 tokens)
|
| 307 |
+
B2NL: "안녕하세요" → [emb1, emb2, emb3] (3 embeddings capturing full meaning)
|
| 308 |
+
```
|
| 309 |
|
| 310 |
+
### 📐 The 48-Byte → 3 Embeddings Architecture
|
| 311 |
+
|
| 312 |
+
```
|
| 313 |
+
[48 bytes input] → [Encoder] → [3 × 768-dim embeddings] → [Decoder] → [48 bytes output]
|
| 314 |
+
↑ ↓
|
| 315 |
+
(with padding) (semantic compression)
|
| 316 |
+
```
|
| 317 |
+
|
| 318 |
+
**Why 48 bytes?**
|
| 319 |
+
- Optimal for GPU parallelization (divisible by 8, 16, 24)
|
| 320 |
+
- Captures most words/phrases in any language
|
| 321 |
+
- Allows consistent 16:1 compression ratio
|
| 322 |
+
|
| 323 |
+
**Why 3 embeddings?**
|
| 324 |
+
- Matches typical semantic units in 48-byte window
|
| 325 |
+
- Provides redundancy for robust reconstruction
|
| 326 |
+
- Optimal for transformer cross-attention
|
| 327 |
+
|
| 328 |
+
### 🌐 Language-Agnostic Processing
|
| 329 |
|
| 330 |
+
The model treats all languages equally at the byte level:
|
| 331 |
+
|
| 332 |
+
| Language | Sample Text | Bytes | Embeddings | Compression |
|
| 333 |
+
|----------|------------|-------|------------|-------------|
|
| 334 |
+
| English | "Hello" | 5 (+43 pad) | 3 | 16:1 |
|
| 335 |
+
| Korean | "안녕하세요" | 15 (+33 pad) | 3 | 16:1 |
|
| 336 |
+
| Chinese | "你好世界" | 12 (+36 pad) | 3 | 16:1 |
|
| 337 |
+
| Arabic | "مرحبا" | 10 (+38 pad) | 3 | 16:1 |
|
| 338 |
+
|
| 339 |
+
All get compressed to 3 embeddings, but the model learns which parts contain information.
|
| 340 |
+
|
| 341 |
+
### 🔄 Sliding Window for Long Texts
|
| 342 |
+
|
| 343 |
+
For texts exceeding 48 bytes:
|
| 344 |
+
```
|
| 345 |
+
Text: "This is a very long sentence that exceeds 48 bytes..."
|
| 346 |
|
| 347 |
+
Chunk 1: [Bytes 0-47] → 3 embeddings
|
| 348 |
+
↓ (8-byte overlap)
|
| 349 |
+
Chunk 2: [Bytes 40-87] → 3 embeddings
|
| 350 |
+
↓ (8-byte overlap)
|
| 351 |
+
Chunk 3: [Bytes 80-127] → 3 embeddings
|
| 352 |
+
```
|
| 353 |
|
| 354 |
+
The 8-byte overlap preserves context across boundaries, preventing word splits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 355 |
|
| 356 |
