Models based on the transformer architectures (GPT, BERT, etc.) work awesome for NLP tasks including taking an input generated from words and producing probability estimates of the next word as the output.

If so, what modifications do we need to perform (do we still train a tokenizer to tokenize integers/floats into token IDs?)?
