Hugging Face released tokenizers v1, a performance-focused rewrite: encoding, decoding and multi-thread scaling are often tens of times faster than v0.23, with multi-language support and minimal package size. Ideas drawn from the open-source ecosystem (tiktoken, kitoken, gigatoken etc.), with patches from IBM, NVIDIA and the ExecuTorch team. Includes measured benchmarks.
