    I couldn't reproduce this behavior with Sonnet 4, and Sonnet 3.7 has been deprecated since I messed with this stuff. You can try tokenizing the string " " I think the correct token…

    their old tokenizer performed some space collapsing that allowed them to use the same token id for a word with and without the leading space (in cases where the context usually imp…

    ideally users could be banned for posting LLM outputs as if they were authored by humans https://www.pangram.com/history/49335ddf-118d-43e4-9340-a58a...
