5 Optimization Techniques

Each technique reduces tokens differently. khalas picks the best combination.

Language Hint
Prepend language context to guide the tokenizer into Arabic-aware mode.
Simplify
Replace complex Arabic morphology with simpler equivalents. Same meaning, fewer fragments.
English Backbone
Keep instructions in English, content in Arabic. Tokenizers handle the split cheaply.
Bilingual Instruction
Mix English structure with Arabic key terms. Best of both token economies.
Shorten
Remove filler words, redundancy, and verbose honorifics. Direct and cheap.
