It delivers about 2× higher throughput and 4× faster code-tokenization performance.
Optimizations include PCRE2-based regex parsing and a simplified BPE algorithm.
Fully compatible with TikToken and installable via pip for easy integration.
Benchmarks on AMD EPYC hardware confirm substantial speed gains on large-scale text processing.
