Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have largely been driven by large language models, deep neural networks that operate over discrete units called tokens. To represent text, most large language models use words or word fragments as the tokens, known as subword tokenization1. Subword tokenization obscures fine-grained information, which is problematic, especially for scientific data—such as computer code or biological sequences—where meaning depends on the individual characters...
