Tiktoken 0.9.4

Tiktoken

Due to the lack of a C# version of cl100k_base encoding (gpt-3.5-turbo), I have implemented a basic solution with encoding and decoding methods based on the official Rust implementation.

Currently, cl100k_base p50k_base has been implemented. Other encodings will be added in future submissions. If you encounter any issues or have questions, please feel free to submit them on the lssues."

Usage

using Tiktoken;

var encoding = Encoding.ForModel("gpt-3.5-turbo");
var tokens = encoding.Encode("hello world"); // [15339, 1917]
var text = encoding.Decode(tokens); // hello world

var encoding = Encoding.Get("cl100k_base");
var tokens = encoding.Encode("hello world"); // [15339, 1917]
var text = encoding.Decode(tokens); // hello world

When using a new encoder for the first time, the required tiktoken files for the encoder will be downloaded from the internet. This may take some time. Once the download is successful, subsequent uses will not require downloading again. You can set TikToken.PBEFileDirectory before using the encoder to modify the storage path of the downloaded tiktoken files, or you can pre-download the files to avoid network issues causing download failures.

Why are the tiktoken files not integrated into the package? On one hand, this would make the package size larger. On the other hand, I want to stay as consistent as possible with OpenAI's official Python code.
