But that general sense of dread when approaching any port of entry, that questioning of "should I even go", that being put in a box and told to wait indefinitely, etc., are all very, very relatable.

What happens if we tokenize cat as [ca, t] rather than [cat]?
LLMs are trained on just one tokenization per word, but they still understand alternative tokenizations. We show that this can be exploited to bypass safety filters without changing the text itself.

Circuits are generative models that use sum-product computation graphs to model probability densities. But how do we ensure the non-negativity of the output?
