Ask HN: What's a good format to submit CSV data for LLMs

2•JimsonYang•1h ago
I need to submit like 1000 rows of data to an llm so I can ask it for trends within the data. If I use json, I check gpt tokenizer and thats like 40 tokens per row(cuz headers were being referenced everytime leading to inefficiency). Meaning 40k input, which definitely would put me in context rot(hallucination) territory. And I heard using csv was very inaccurate. Any suggetions

you can use good old algorythms to search your special trends. just ask LLM how to code them. any algo you might need is somewhere inside of Donald Knuth's books.
