UPD: Found the paper: - https://huggingface.co/papers/2502.09741 - https://fouriernumber.github.io/ in paper mentioned “number” is a single sort-of “token” with numeric value, so network dealing with numbers like real numbers, separately from char representation. All the math happens directly on “number value”. In majority of current models numbers are handled like sequences of chars&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2502.09741/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
