Module: OllamaChat::Utils::TokenEstimator

Defined in:
lib/ollama_chat/utils/token_estimator.rb

Overview

Provides crude estimations of token counts for various models.

Since actual tokenization depends on the specific model’s BPE/SentencePiece vocabulary, these methods provide a “best effort” approximation based on average character/byte ratios.
