Patent Boundary Notice

Scope

The retokenization pipeline (retokenize_scylla.py) included in this repository converts SentencePiece-tokenized FineWeb shards to alternative tokenizer vocabularies. The algorithm is straightforward: decode tokens to bytes, re-encode with the target tokenizer, validate byte-level roundtrip fidelity.

What is NOT covered

The pre-tokenized data files (.bin shards) in this dataset are standard binary token sequences. They do not embody any patentable method — they are the output of running a tokenizer on public data.

What MAY be covered

Techniques described in patent applications by Light Speed Up LLC related to:

  • Sensitivity-guided mixed-precision quantization
  • Adaptive tokenizer selection for language model compression

These techniques are implemented in training code (not in this dataset or retokenization tool). The Apache 2.0 license on the code grants patent rights for the code as-shipped.
