I’m trying to use the groq moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct model. According to the documentation on moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct · Hugging Face this model isnt’ compatible with OpenAI or Gemini tokenizers and it appears to use it’s own custom tokenizer. Is it possible to configure discourse to use a cus…

TL;DR pick the closest tokenizer and set the maximum context to some thousands less to allow for the difference to not affect you.

Thanks. So I decided to enroll the services of ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok to help me decided which tokenizer to use; which would be the closest match to the Kimi Instruct TikToken/BPE tokenizer to generate the most accurate output from the model. I must say modern AI models are fairly representative …

Also worth noting … majority of coding agents these days don’t even bother with an accurate tokenizer like Discourse does. They just estimate at 4 letters per token. cl100k will be plenty fine for the vast majority of use cases on llms with slightly different tokenizers.

TL;DR elige el tokenizador más cercano y establece el contexto máximo en unos miles menos para permitir que la diferencia no te afecte.
