    .numLayers(6)
    .numAttentionHeads(8)
    .feedForwardDimension(2048)
    .build();

BPETokenizer tokenizer = new BPETokenizer();
String[][] tokenizedData = tokenizer.tokenize(textData);

// Training is significantly faster in v3.1.2

Cloud costs: Lower memory requirements translate to reduced infrastructure costs

💡 Best Practices for v3.1.2

1. Leverage Automatic Optimizations

// No changes needed - optimizations are automatic
// But you can measure the improvements:

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
model.fit(X_train, y_train);
long trainingTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
System.out.println("Training time: " + trainingTime + "ms (improved in v3.1.2!)");

2. Monitor Memory Usage

// Take advantage of reduced memory usage for larger models
RandomForest largerModel = new RandomForest()
    .setNumEstimators(200)  // Increase from 100
    .setMaxDepth(15);       // Increase from 10
    
// Memory efficiency improvements allow for larger configurations

3. Utilize Enhanced PMML Performance

// Convert multiple models efficiently
List<BaseEstimator> models = Arrays.asList(
    new LinearRegression(), 
    new LogisticRegression(), 
    new RandomForest()
);

PMMLConverter converter = new PMMLConverter();
for (BaseEstimator model : models) {
    String pmml = converter.convertToXML(model);  // 50% faster per model
    // Deploy to production systems
}
