GigaToken aims for 1000× faster tokenization
A GitHub project called GigaToken claims roughly 1000× faster language-model tokenization. Since tokenization is a core preprocessing step in LLM pipelines, a speedup here is an infrastructure-level optimization rather than a model release.
The post only shares the project link, so the key takeaway is the scale of the claimed performance jump and its potential relevance to high-throughput inference and training pipelines.
