The
tiktoken-js
library includes a very helpful function,getEncodingNameForModel()
. This function is buried in theimplementation of
encoding_for_model()
in the rust basedtiktoken
package.This function is very useful when implementing an encoding cache based
on the model used. In this case, having a mapping from model ->
encoding and then caching based on the encoding name conserves
resources since so many models re-use the same encoding.
I've exposed a new
get_encoding_name_for_model()
functionthat behaves similarly to the one in the
tiktoken-js
package, and usedit inside of
encoding_for_model()
.Finally, I've also added a test to ensure that this function can be
called properly from typescript code, and that it properly throws
exceptions in the case of invalid model names.
