The author shares how running multiple persistent AI agent profiles under Hermes led to high API costs, solved by implementing tiered model policies per profile, pre-processing inputs, and using an API gateway for cost visibility, reducing daily costs from $14-18 to $7-10.
This paper introduces Triadic Suffix Tokenization (TST), a deterministic tokenization scheme that partitions digits into three-digit triads with explicit magnitude markers to improve numerical reasoning in large language models. The method addresses inconsistent number fragmentation in standard tokenizers by providing transparent order-of-magnitude relationships at the token level, with two implementation variants offering scalable vocabulary expansion.
