"# How to count tokens with tiktoken\n",
|
|
"\n",
|
|
"[`tiktoken`](https://github.com/openai/tiktoken/blob/main/README.md) is a fast open-source tokenizer by OpenAI.\n",
|
|
"\n",
|
|
"Given a text string (e.g., `\"tiktoken is great!\"`) and an encoding (e.g., `\"gpt2\"`), a tokenizer can split the text string into a list of tokens (e.g., `[\"t\", \"ik\", \"token\", \" is\", \" great\", \"!\"]`).\n",
|
|
"\n",
|
|
"Splitting text strings into tokens is useful because models like GPT-3 see text in the form of tokens. Knowing how many tokens are in a text string can tell you (a) whether the string is too long for a text model to process and (b) how much an OpenAI API call costs (as usage is priced by token). Different models use different encodings.\n",
|
|
"\n",
|
|
"`tiktoken` supports three encodings used by OpenAI models:\n",
|
|
"\n",
|
|
"| Encoding name | OpenAI models |\n",
|
|
"|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|\n",
|
|
"| `gpt2` (or `r50k_base`) | Most GPT-3 models |\n",
|
|
"| `p50k_base` | Code models, `text-davinci-002`, `text-davinci-003` |\n",
|
|
"| `cl100k_base` | `text-embedding-ada-002` |\n",
|
|
"\n",
|
|
"`p50k_base` overlaps substantially with `gpt2`, and for non-code applications, they will usually give the same tokens.\n",
|
|
"\n",
|
|
"## Tokenizer libraries and languages\n",
|
|
"\n",
|
|
"For `gpt2` encodings, tokenizers are available in many languages.\n",
|
|
"- Python: [tiktoken](https://github.com/openai/tiktoken/blob/main/README.md) (or alternatively [GPT2TokenizerFast](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/gpt2#transformers.GPT2TokenizerFast))\n",

|
|
"\n",
|
|
"## How strings are typically tokenized\n",
|
|
"\n",
|
|
"In English, tokens commonly range in length from one character to one word (e.g., `\"t\"` or `\" great\"`), though in some languages tokens can be shorter than one character or longer than one word. Spaces are usually grouped with the starts of words (e.g., `\" is\"` instead of `\"is \"` or `\" \"`+`\"is\"`). You can quickly check how a string is tokenized at the [OpenAI Tokenizer](https://beta.openai.com/tokenizer)."
