Briefings
The user released ttok 1.0 after discovering it defaulted to GPT-4 tokenizer instead of GPT-5/GPT-6, citing a commit by William Liu confirming tokenizers are likely identical across seven GPT models. This finding suggests a potential bug in the release process that could affect model behavior, though OpenAI has not yet confirmed GPT-6's tokenizer identity. The evidence includes a specific commit report and a token count match of 44,794 tokens across all tested models.
Key points
- The user released ttok 1.0 after discovering it defaulted to GPT-4 tokenizer instead of GPT-5/GPT-6.
- William Liu's commit report confirms GPT-6 introduces no input-count change on the tested corpus.
Context
The user investigated tokenization behavior across multiple GPT models, finding a discrepancy between expected and actual default tokenizers. This finding is significant for understanding potential bugs in the release process that could impact model behavior.
Limitations
OpenAI has not confirmed GPT-6's tokenizer identity, and the evidence relies on a single commit report and a token count match across seven models without further validation.
