Pure Rust tokenizer for GGUF models - llama.cpp compatible
This is a developer tool for building applications that use Large Language Models (LLMs). It helps integrate LLMs by converting human-readable text into numerical tokens that models understand, and vice-versa, directly from a GGUF model file. The primary users are Rust developers building LLM inference engines, WASM applications, or command-line tools.
Use this if you are a Rust developer creating an application that needs to process text with GGUF-formatted LLMs and want a self-contained, C++-free solution for tokenization.
Not ideal if you are not a Rust developer, or if your primary need is general-purpose text processing unrelated to GGUF LLMs.
