The Allen Institute for AI (AI2) has unveiled Bolmo , a groundbreaking family of AI models that introduces a byte-level architecture  to large-scale language processing. Unlike conventional large language models (LLMs) such as GPT or Llama, which rely on tokenizers to process text, Bolmo models work directly with raw bytes. This innovation enables more robust handling of noisy, misspelled, or underrepresented languages, positioning Bolmo as a powerful alternative for real-wor
