Researchers have introduced TONIC, a novel framework for semantic communication in wireless systems that prioritizes token-level relevance for foundation models. This approach moves beyond traditional bit-level fidelity by dynamically allocating protection based on a token's importance to the task. At the receiver, a confidence-aware gating mechanism handles unreliable decisions, allowing a completion model to restore missing information for accurate inference. Experiments demonstrate TONIC's superior performance in image classification tasks compared to existing methods across various channel conditions. AI
