@marcelroed Very impressive!! Although you've apparently far exceeded it and I am sure you hadn't heard of it anyways, I feel compelled to plant my flag here (for history) that was already well past the two comparisons in your chart over a year ago, at ~1.2 GB/s (and 2 GB/s+ mor 19.7K views · 160 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

I had a lot of fun finding these optimizations over the past year! Thanks to @mdbereket, @percyliang, @tatsu_hashimoto, @jure for feedback and supervision. Check out Gigatoken on GitHub! https://t.co/IPme9IeFDv 17.9K views · 267 likes · 8 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

If you're curious about how fast Gigatoken will run on your data and with your tokenizer, you can run it without installing Gigatoken using uv: uvx gigatoken bench <tokenizer-name> <dataset> https://t.co/dEA1Ftg0iZ 18.7K views · 155 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Gigatoken can be used as a drop-in replacement for HuggingFace tokenizers or tiktoken in Python, or with its own API. https://t.co/IpMdiLWZk3 19.2K views · 188 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Caching is the other main optimization, where Gigatoken avoids recomputing mappings for pretokens it’s already seen. A fast cache hierarchy lets this be much faster than recomputing, where other implementations (like tiktoken) report worse performance with caching. 20.3K views · 172 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

After writing my own tokenizer a few times for our class, https://t.co/Aw4AV3TKqQ, I tried moving the pretokenizer (pre-splitting documents into words) from a regex engine to a hand-written state machine, and realized this could also be done using CPU-specific SIMD instructions. 24.6K views · 252 likes · 6 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →

Introducing the world's fastest tokenizer implementation, Gigatoken! Gigatoken is ~500-1000x faster than HuggingFace, and ~100x faster than OpenAI's tiktoken for most tokenizer definitions on most machines. These baselines are already multithreaded Rust implementations! 🧵 https 734.4K views · 4.1K likes · 483 reposts · 85 replies Open on X →

Inspired by @lemire's simdjson, as well as @cmuratori's Handmade software movement, I noticed that existing tokenizers were running at much slower than the data rates I've seen for programs doing a comparable amount of work. For instance, simdjson processes several GB/s. 27.6K views · 217 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Gigatoken can tokenize the entire internet in <7 hours on one machine. Specifically, this refers to tokenizing Common Crawl on a dual socket AMD Epyc server, reaching 24GB/s of throughput, as seen here: https://t.co/jroCWjxKxi 43.9K views · 550 likes · 41 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →

We built the fastest BPE tokenizer in the world. 100% correct on models like llama3/gpt-4o/inversion—over 100x faster than other libraries—to power the world's fastest language models in Inversion 2. https://t.co/6Vaua4cGhI 143.8K views · 1.1K likes · 64 reposts · 30 replies Open on X →
