GPT3 Tokenizer

This is a isomorphic TypeScript tokenizer for OpenAI's GPT-3 model. Including support for gpt3 and codex tokenization. It should work in both NodeJS and Browser environments.

Usage

First, install:

yarn add gpt3-tokenizer

In code:

import GPT3Tokenizer from 'gpt3-tokenizer';

const tokenizer = new GPT3Tokenizer({ type: 'gpt3' }); // or 'codex'
const str = "hello 👋 world 🌍";
const encoded: { bpe: number[]; text: string[] } = tokenizer.encode(str);
const decoded = tokenizer.decode(encoded.bpe);

Reference

This library is based on the following:

• OpenAI Tokenizer Page Source
• gpt-3-encoder

The main difference between this library and gpt-3-encoder is that this library supports both gpt3 and codex tokenization (The dictionary is taken directly from OpenAI so the tokenization result is on par with the OpenAI Playground). Also Map API is used instead of JavaScript objects, especially the bpeRanks object, which should see some performance improvement.
