Definition
In the context of large language models, tokens are units of text (like words or parts of words) that the model processes. The number of tokens often determines the computational cost and the amount of information an AI can handle in a single query.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
Graphify’s efficiency is highlighted by its use of significantly fewer tokens (71x fewer) to represent an entire codebase, making AI understanding more feasible and cost-effective.
