Aleph Alpha announced a tokenizer-free (T-Free) LLM architecture that does not require a tokenizer, enabling more effective fine-tuning for diverse languages, alphabets, and specialized industries. The company also announced a collaboration with AMD and Schwarz Digits to combine this architecture with AMD Instinct MI300 accelerators and the sovereign cloud STACKIT. For Finnish, the architecture achieved a 70 percent reduction in training cost and carbon footprint compared to tokenizer-based models.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://aleph-alpha.com/en/news/t-free-architecture-amd-schwarz-digits:

> Aleph Alpha's new LLM architecture does not require a tokenizer, extending LLM capabilities beyond the original training data. This approach solves a key problem of current Language Model Architectures, which most commonly can only be trained efficiently on data that uses similar tokens to their original training data.
