BTW it looks like Kimi won the subsequent challenge too https://aicc.rayonnant.ai/challenges/hexquerques/

Are you tests and results open source?

Show HN: GreedyPhrase – 1.21x better compression than GPT-4o tiktoken, 6x faster

bazlightyear — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:55:01 +0000

A greedy phrase-based tokenizer that outperforms GPT-4 and GPT-4o tokenizers on compression, with a smaller vocabulary.

Benchmark (enwik9, 1 GB):

Tokenizer Vocab Size Total Tokens Ratio Throughput GreedyPhrase 65,536 222,805,405 4.49x 47 MB/s Tiktoken o200k_base (GPT-4o) 200,019 270,616,861 3.70x 4.35 MB/s Tiktoken cl100k_base (GPT-4) 100,277 273,662,103 3.65x 7.13 MB/s

GreedyPhrase: 1.23x better than GPT-4, 1.21x better than GPT-4o. 1.5-3x smaller vocab, 6-11x higher encoding throughput.

How It Works:

1. Phrase Mining — Split into atoms (words, punctuation, whitespace). Mine bigrams/trigrams. Top phrases fill 95% vocab slots.

2. BPE Fallback — Train BPE on residual byte sequences. Fills remaining 5% vocab.

3. Greedy Encoding — Longest-match-first Trie. Byte fallback for unknowns (zero OOV).
