Philosophy of AI / Here Be Dragons / 1 Image Me: In the study and development of artificial intelligence, can a token be considered an n-dimensional tensor? Claude Opus 4.6: This is a great question, and it touches on something that’s subtly important — the distinction between a token as a discrete symbolic unit and its representation within a model. The short answer: A token itself is not a tensor — it’s a discrete symbol (a word, subword, or character drawn from a vocabulary).
