More FAQs in What language do large language models understand?
Binary is how computers represent data at a low level. A token ID is a vocabulary index that can itself be stored using binary digits.
Differences in training examples, tokenization efficiency, evaluation coverage, and later fine-tuning can make the same model substantially more capable in some languages than in others.
