Sharing GAT-K, a grapheme-aware tokenizer for Kannada. GAT has better compression ratio and fertility score across vocab sizes creating longer, more semantically meaningful tokens instead of breaking the text into meaningless fragments. try it here: huggingface.co/varuni/GAT-K

Also,I wanted to share a little about the inspiration behind the name Fran - it’s a tribute to Frances Elizabeth Allen: the first woman to win the Turing Award and a pioneer in parallel computing and compiler optimization! (Shoutout to @AnirudhRowjee for the name inspo 🙏)
