High-Performance Implementation of OpenAI's TikToken - 2x Throughput, 4x Faster Code Tokenization

TokenDagger: High-Performance Implementation of OpenAI's TikToken

A fast, drop-in implementation of OpenAI's TikToken, designed for large-scale text processing. 2x Throughput and 4x faster on code sample tokenization.

Benchmarks

Performed on an AMD EPYC 4584PX - 16c/32t - 4.2 GHz.

• Fast Regex Parsing: Optimized PCRE2 regex engine for efficient token pattern matching
• Drop-In Replacement: Full compatibility with OpenAI's TikToken tokenizer
• Simplified BPE: Simplied algorithm to reduce performance impact of large special token vocabulary.

Run Tests

make clean && make
pip3 install tiktoken
