 "summary": "Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct: tokenizer change at 4f818b1 (2024-07-01)",
 "details": "Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct: the chat template changed and renders differently (system+user, multi-turn, tool-call); prompts rendered with the old one no longer match what the model now expects, so cached prompts and eval sets need re-rendering; add_bos_token true to false; encoding the same text yields different ids (2024-07-01).\n\nRepository: https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct. Revisions from 4f818b18e097c9ae8f93a29a57027cad54b75304 onward carry this change; a pin at ff07dc01615f8113924aed013115ab2abd32115b or earlier does not.\n\nChanged keys:\n- tokenizer add_bos_token: true -> false (tokenizer)\n- tokenizer chat_template_sha256: 268b6082ceb7176d -> dcaee66df77bfbb7 (template)\n\nThis record says what the change does mechanically. It is not a report that anything broke for anyone.",
