Ratio per corpus
Each role ratio_<corpus> is the subject's metric divided by the comparator's metric on that corpus, both against the baseline tokenizer.

The Polish-only 32k tokenizer's fertility tax against the Mistral-derived tokenizer is 0.9727, 0.9882, 0.9965 and 0.9713 times APT4's on English arXiv abstracts, LaTeX method sections, Python code and GSM8K problems, and 0.9586, 0.9577 and 1.0065 times APT4's on Polish PES examination questions, Polish Wikipedia science articles and Polish reviews.

Experimental provenance
- Method and evaluation protocol
- Divide the Polish-only arm's token ratio to the Mistral-derived tokenizer by APT4's on each corpus.
- Dataset
- Seven English and Polish corpora of about 120k words each; four are restricted.Version: unspecified · Access: restricted
- Reported results

- Uncertainty and replication
- Point ratios; intervals of each tax are in results/atlas.json.

- Limitations
- APT4's training corpus is unknown, so differences mix recipe and data. The original report's prose said within 1 to 3% on every corpus; the Polish PES and Wikipedia ratios differ by more than 4% (report.md, Corrections, 14 September 2026).
