A helper library for estimating tokens used by messages sent through OpenAI Chat Completions API.
Project description
openai-messages-token-helper
A helper library for estimating tokens used by messages and building messages lists that fit within the token limits of a model. Currently designed to work with the OpenAI GPT models (including GPT-4 turbo with vision). Uses the tiktoken library for tokenizing text and the Pillow library for image-related calculations.
Installation
Install the package:
python3 -m pip install openai-messages-token-helper
Usage
The library provides the following functions:
build_messages
Build a list of messages for a chat conversation, given the system prompt, new user message, and past messages. The function will truncate the history of past messages if necessary to stay within the token limit.
Arguments:
model
(str
): The model name to use for token calculation, like gpt-3.5-turbo.system_prompt
(str
): The initial system prompt message.new_user_message
(str | List[openai.types.chat.ChatCompletionContentPartParam]
): The new user message to append.past_messages
(list[dict]
): The list of past messages in the conversation.few_shots
(list[dict]
): A few-shot list of messages to insert after the system prompt.max_tokens
(int
): The maximum number of tokens allowed for the conversation.
Returns:
list[openai.types.chat.ChatCompletionMessageParam]
Example:
from openai_messages_token_helper import build_messages
messages = build_messages(
model="gpt-35-turbo",
system_prompt="You are a bot.",
new_user_message="That wasn't a good poem.",
past_messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Write me a poem",
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Tuna tuna I love tuna",
},
],
few_shots=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Write me a poem",
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Tuna tuna is the best",
},
]
)
count_tokens_for_message
Counts the number of tokens in a message.
Arguments:
model
(str
): The model name to use for token calculation, like gpt-3.5-turbo.
Returns:
int
: The number of tokens in the message.
Example:
from openai_messages_token_helper import count_tokens_for_message
message = {
"role": "user",
"content": "Hello, how are you?",
}
model = "gpt-4"
num_tokens = count_tokens_for_message(model, message)
count_tokens_for_image
Count the number of tokens for an image sent to GPT-4-vision, in base64 format.
Arguments:
image
(str
): The base64-encoded image.
Returns:
int
: The number of tokens used up for the image.
Example:
Count the number of tokens for an image sent to GPT-4-vision:
```python
from openai_messages_token_helper import count_tokens_for_image
image = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEA..."
num_tokens = count_tokens_for_image(image)
get_token_limit
Get the token limit for a given GPT model name (OpenAI.com or Azure OpenAI supported).
Arguments:
model
(str
): The model name to use for token calculation, like gpt-3.5-turbo (OpenAI.com) or gpt-35-turbo (Azure).
Returns:
int
: The token limit for the model.
Example:
from openai_messages_token_helper import get_token_limit
model = "gpt-4"
max_tokens = get_token_limit(model)
