Throughput in texts/s and single-query median latency, Apple M2 Max, library defaults.

Values per model: potion-base-8M / potion-retrieval-32M / potion-multilingual-128M.

FiQA: 57,638 documents (mean 767 chars) and 6,648 queries (mean 62 chars). Embeddings are unchanged: the branch matches fastembed main and model2vec on FiQA NDCG@10.

📝 Walkthrough
📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project now allows tokenizers 1.0 prereleases and updates static embedding tokenizer configuration and ID-array handling. It imports AddedToken only when processing dictionary-form special tokens. The README documents tokenizers 1.0 use for three static potion models and the multilingual model’s regex build requirement. The Python test workflow now runs the static embedding tests.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature


Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0ef02

Installing this branch upgrades every user to tokenizers 1.0, which the branch's own documentation says breaks all non-static models. The tests for those models were also removed from CI. This should not be merged as a general release unless the incompatible models are separated from the new requirement or updated to the 1.0 API.

Keep tokenizers 1.0 out of the dependency path for unsupported models.

This project-wide requirement installs tokenizers 1.0 for non-static models too. The new README states that those models still use the 0.x API and are unsupported with 1.0. Users who install this package therefore lose those model workflows. Separate the incompatible runtimes or update the other models before making 1.0 the shared requirement. The restricted pytest command does not test those workflows. (github.com)

Define documents in the usage example.

The example calls model.embed(documents) but never defines documents. A reader who runs the example gets NameError. Add a short input list before the call.

Comment thread README.md
The tokenizers 1.0 wheels on PyPI are built without a regex backend, so tokenizers with a regex pattern, such as the one of `minishlab/potion-multilingual-128M`, fail to load with them. To use that model, build tokenizers from source with the regex feature (this needs a [Rust toolchain](https://rustup.rs)):

```bash
MATURIN_PEP517_ARGS="--features tk-encode/fancy-regex,tk-serialize/fancy-regex" pip install --no-binary tokenizers --pre "tokenizers==1.0.0rc2"

Force installation of the regex-enabled source build.

If tokenizers 1.0.0rc2 is already installed from a wheel, pip can treat this requirement as satisfied. --no-binary alone does not replace that installation. Add --force-reinstall so the documented command builds and installs the requested variant. (pip.pypa.io)

lgtm, thank you so much! I'm gonna start benches later today on a few datasets for the technical article on static embeddings using this branch
