# Video Tokenization β for efficient AI video processing
Meet ππ’πππ¨π€, a new open-source video tokenization technique developed by Microsoft Research to address the computational challenges of processing large volumes of video data. The core problem VidTok tackles is the inefficiency caused by redundant information in raw video pixels.
VidTok converts complex video footage into compact, structured units called tokens, making it easier and more efficient for AI systems to analyze, understand, and generate video content.

The past few years have been a blast for artificial intelligence, with large language models (LLMs) stunning everyone with their capabilities and powering everything from chatbots to code assistants. However, not all applications demand the massive size and complexity of LLMs, the computational power required makes them impractical for many use cases. This is why Small Language Models (SLMs) entered the scene to make powerful AI models more accessible by shrinking in size.

π Why do I love it? Because it facilitates teaching and learning!
Over the past few months I've engaged with (no joke) thousands of students based on SmolLM.
- People have inferred, fine-tuned, aligned, and evaluated this smol model. - People used they're own machines and they've used free tools like colab, kaggle, and spaces. - People tackled use cases in their job, for fun, in their own language, and with their friends.
