arXiv:2607.29678v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM serving caches prompt KV state, yet most front ends still re-tokenize the full request on every call. Coding agents pay most: sessions repeatedly submit a long transcript after a small append, which can shift token boundaries near the end of the prior sequence. Across 153,951 calls the median append is ~1.4K characters; only 1.0-3.6% of calls start or rebuild a session, yet those carrymulti-million-character contexts. Fleet prompt-cache hit rate is 94.1%, and as it approaches 0.99, tokenization grows from 10% to 64% of time to first token (TTFT) in component measurements. TokTier is a stateful CPU+GPU tokenization service for this two-mode workload, under one contract: emitted token IDs are always identical to full reference tokenization. For session continuations it re-tokenizes a small window around the append and splices only when a per-request check finds a stable pre-tokenization boundary; failed checks widen the window or fall back to full reference tokenization. For calls without a reusable prefix it runs exact GPT-family regex pre-tokenization and BPE on a GPU. A sampled shadow verifier re-checks live traffic. Across 17 production tokenizer families, differential campaigns cover 1.5x10^10 split checks, a 12.4 TB real-text corpus, and 93,000+ replayed agent steps, with zero divergence. Incremental repair takes 0.5-1.1 ms from 100K to 3M characters, up to 437x faster than HF tokenization and 2.1x faster at 1M characters than the strongest cache-based baseline (Gigatoken) fully prewarmed.
