"AI Use Disclosure: A majority of this code base was crafted by hand without any use of AI (which can be seen from the project's Git history)."

So much for "human programming is obsolete".



For context:

In the final stages of the project, AI was used to assist:

Implementing the user-facing API Widening of compatibility, for instance generalizing and porting the pretokenizer implementations to support more tokenizers, less interesting features like padding/truncation/unicode normalization Porting SIMD strategies between AVX512/AVX2/NEON Final profiling stages and the last ~4x worth of performance from eliminating branching and improving the pretoken cache hierarchy Refactoring and code reuse


Nobody except people trying to sell AI are claiming human programming is obsolete though.
