Key Points
- A 16 MB vocabulary file is all you need for some AI models, instead of gigabytes.
- This cuts costs and energy use, making AI cheaper for apps and devices.
- It works best for small or compressed models, not the biggest ones.
Why It Matters
Cheaper AI means more affordable apps, longer battery life, and less energy use.
