Byteification retrofits LLMs to count individual letters reliably

Nature reported a technique called byteification that retrofits existing large language models to evaluate text at individual-letter level, a task most models currently fail, such as counting i's in 'artificial intelligence'. Why it matters Letter-level failures limit reliable code, spelling, and s…
