GPT-3-Encoder-lambda

Javascript BPE Encoder Decoder for GPT-2 / GPT-3 with AWS Lambda compatibility

This lib can be used either with AWS Lambda or with any other "standard" node runtime / deployment

Motivation

This is an adaptation of GPT-3-Encoder, the original repo could be found here.

As AWS lambda bundles the sources in one single JS file, the vocab.bpe & encoder.json file cannot be read using fs.readFileSync(...) as it's the case in the original implementation

About

GPT-2 and GPT-3 use byte pair encoding to turn text into a series of integers to feed into the model. This is a javascript implementation of OpenAI's original python encoder/decoder which can be found here

Install with npm

``
npm install gpt-3-encoder-lambda
`

Usage

Compatible with Node >= 12

`js
const {encode, decode} = require('gpt-3-encoder-lambda')

const str = 'This is an example sentence to try encoding out on!'
const encoded = encode(str)
console.log('Encoded this string looks like: ', encoded)

console.log('We can look at each token and what it represents')
for(let token of encoded){
console.log({token, string: decode([token])})
}

const decoded = decode(encoded)
console.log('We can decode it back into:\n', decoded)
