Sample questions
What does a large language model actually read and bill for, instead of whole words?
- Whole sentences
- Individual ASCII bytes only
- Whole paragraphs
- Tokens (sub-word units)
- Unicode code points, never merged
In a terminal tokenizer demo, why might the word 'internationalization' become two or more tokens instead of one?
- The tokenizer only accepts words under 5 letters
- Long or uncommon words are often split into smaller sub-word pieces
- Every noun is split by definition
- Capital letters always force a split
- Tokenizers only understand whole dictionary words
What is a 'context window' in the context of an LLM?
- The number of turns a user is allowed to type per session
- The maximum number of tokens (prompt plus reply) the model can attend to at once
- The maximum number of tool calls allowed per request
- The physical RAM size of the GPU running the model
- The number of documents a RAG system has ingested
A conversation grows past the model's context window. What typically happens to make room for new tokens?
- Tokens are compressed losslessly with no information lost
- Older messages are truncated or dropped from what gets sent to the model
- The model automatically doubles its own context window
- The model refuses to respond until the user upgrades hardware
- The temperature setting is lowered to compensate
Why does the token count of a prompt usually differ from its plain word count?
- Only vowels count as tokens
- Tokenizers always produce exactly one token per word
- Punctuation, numbers, and rare/long words often split into multiple tokens, while short common words may be a single token
- Whitespace is counted as its own separate word every time
- Tokens are always exactly 4 characters long
