You can use AI without understanding tokens β just like you can drive a car without knowing the engine. But if you want to:
- π° Reduce API costs
- β‘ Improve speed
- π― Build better RAG systems
- π Debug strange outputs
- π Build AI products
β¦then you must understand what happens under the hood.
Everything in modern LLM systems is built on:
- Tokens
- Embeddings
- Vectors
- Vector Search
These are the atoms of AI.
