    Minor nit: In familiarity, you gloss over the fact that it&#x27;s character rather than token based which might be worth a shout out:<p>&quot;Microgpt&#x27;s larger cousins using building blocks called tokens representing one or more letters. That&#x27;s hard to reason about, but essential for building sentences and conversations.<p>&quot;So we&#x27;ll just deal with spelling names using the English alphabet. That gives us 26 tokens, one for each letter.&quot;

      hm. the way i see things, characters are the natural&#x2F;obvious building blocks and tokenization is just an improvement on that. i do mention chatgpt et al. use tokens in the last q&amp;a dropdown, though
