TokenDagger – A tokenizer faster than OpenAI's Tiktoken
SMRTR summary
TikToken-Fast offers a high-performance alternative to OpenAI's TikToken tokenizer, delivering twice the throughput and four times faster processing for code samples. This drop-in replacement utilizes an optimized PCRE2 regex engine for efficient token pattern matching and implements a simplified BPE algorithm to handle large special token vocabularies. The project aims to accelerate large-scale text processing while maintaining full compatibility with the original TikToken implementation.
