Katelyn Lesse and Angela Jiang from Anthropic propose a novel framework where AI tokens are assigned specific roles, challenging the traditional view that all tokens are interchangeable. This approach could optimize how agentic systems operate, leading to better overall performance and more tailored functionalities in AI applications.
