tiktoken-rs

Rust library for tokenizing text with OpenAI models using tiktoken.

This library provides a set of ready-made tokenizer libraries for working with GPT, tiktoken and related OpenAI models. Use cases covers tokenizing and counting tokens in text inputs.

This library is built on top of the tiktoken library and includes some additional features and enhancements for ease of use with rust code.

Examples

For full working examples for all supported features, see the examples directory in the repository.

Usage

1. Install this tool locally with cargo

cargo add tiktoken-rs

Then in your rust code, call the API

Counting token length

use another_tiktoken_rs::p50k_base;

let bpe = p50k_base().unwrap();
let tokens = bpe.encode_with_special_tokens(
  "This is a sentence   with spaces"
);
println!("Token count: {}", tokens.len());

Counting max_tokens parameter for a chat completion request

use another_tiktoken_rs::{get_chat_completion_max_tokens, ChatCompletionRequestMessage};

let messages = vec![
    ChatCompletionRequestMessage {
        content: Some("You are a helpful assistant that only speaks French.".to_string()),
        role: "system".to_string(),
        name: None,
        function_call: None,
    },
    ChatCompletionRequestMessage {
        content: Some("Hello, how are you?".to_string()),
        role: "user".to_string(),
        name: None,
        function_call: None,
    },
    ChatCompletionRequestMessage {
        content: Some("Parlez-vous francais?".to_string()),
        role: "system".to_string(),
        name: None,
        function_call: None,
    },
];
let max_tokens = get_chat_completion_max_tokens("gpt-4", &messages).unwrap();
println!("max_tokens: {}", max_tokens);

Counting max_tokens parameter for a chat completion request with async-openai

Need to enable the async-openai feature in your Cargo.toml file.

use another_tiktoken_rs::async_openai::get_chat_completion_max_tokens;
use async_openai::types::{ChatCompletionRequestMessage, Role};

let messages = vec![
    ChatCompletionRequestMessage {
        content: Some("You are a helpful assistant that only speaks French.".to_string()),
        role: Role::System,
        name: None,
        function_call: None,
    },
    ChatCompletionRequestMessage {
        content: Some("Hello, how are you?".to_string()),
        role: Role::User,
        name: None,
        function_call: None,
    },
    ChatCompletionRequestMessage {
        content: Some("Parlez-vous francais?".to_string()),
        role: Role::System,
        name: None,
        function_call: None,
    },
];
let max_tokens = get_chat_completion_max_tokens("gpt-4", &messages).unwrap();
println!("max_tokens: {}", max_tokens);

tiktoken supports these encodings used by OpenAI models:

See the examples in the repo for use cases. For more context on the different tokenizers, see the OpenAI Cookbook
