Developers use token-efficient formats to feed web data to local LLMs

Developers can improve local LLM performance by converting raw HTML web data into token-efficient formats like Markdown or JSON before feeding it into the model. This process bypasses the inefficiencies of raw HTML, which can exhaust context windows and slow down inference. By using specialized extraction APIs, developers can ensure cleaner, more structured data reaches models such as Llama 3 or Mistral, reducing hallucinations and accelerating processing. AI
