Byte H-Net Shows 2.24x Compute Efficiency and In-Context Tokenization

Byte H-Net achieves a 2.24x compute multiplier over BPE Transformers on Python code tasks, though an OpenAI researcher cautions about scale. Related work also demonstrates emergent in-context tokenization in hierarchical networks, outperforming traditional tokenizers on texts with novel words.
