> context with 2.1 bits of entropy per token

Can you elaborate on this? I'm seen estimates of ~1.5bit per English letter, and tokens encode a lot more than that - sometimes full words, with multimodal even more. If KV cache embedding are storing more than just simple tokens but entire concepts with context and nuance, that'll bump the entropy up quite quickly.
