# 🚀 Supernova-Nepali-Tokenizer (Ultra-BPE)

A high-performance, production-ready Byte-Level BPE tokenizer specifically engineered for the **Nepali language** and **Devanagari script**. Developed as part of the Supernova project to enable efficient and accurate Nepali LLM processing.

## 🌟 Key Features

- **0% Unknown Tokens (UNK)**: Byte-level fallback ensures every Unicode character (emojis, symbols, rare conjuncts) is representable.
- **Linguistic Cohesion**: Specialized Devanagari Regex pre-tokenizer keeps consonant clusters and matras as atomic units.
- **Optimized Context Window**: Achieves **~3.79 tokens per word**, offering a **2.2x compression boost** compared to standard GPT-2 tokenizers.
- **Clean Vocabulary**: Saturated at ~2.6k high-frequency tokens for optimized embedding efficiency.

## 📊 Benchmarks

Tested on the `Supernova-teraillm` dataset:

| Tokenizer | Tokens per Word | Efficiency |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Supernova-Nepali (Ultra)** | **3.79** | **2.20x Better** |
| GPT-2 (Standard) | 8.21 | Baseline |

## 🛠️ Usage

### Using Supernova 
```python
import time
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

# Load the dedicated Nepali tokenizer (Pure Tokenizer Repository)
model_id = "Supernova11c/Supernova-Nepali-Tokenizer"
print(f"Loading tokenizer for: {model_id}")

# Use clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False for BPE tokenizers to prevent warnings/corruption
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)

def stress_test_tokenizer(tokenizer):
    print(f"\n--- Running Tokenizer Stress Test ---")
    print(f"Tokenizer Class: {type(tokenizer).__name__}\n")

    # 1. Edge Cases & Special Characters Test
    edge_cases = [
        "Hello, world! 🌍🚀",  # Emojis & punctuation
        "   Multiple    spaces   and\nnewlines\t",  # Whitespace handling
        "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." * 50,  # Repetition
        "1234567890 -+*/=<>@#$%^&*()_[]{}|\\:;\"'.,?",  # Symbols & Numbers
        "नमस्ते संसार 🌟 नेपाल 🌍",  # Nepali / Multi-lingual
        "",  # Empty string
    ]
    
    print("1. Edge Case Testing:")
    for i, text in enumerate(edge_cases):
        try:
            encoded = tokenizer.encode(text)
            decoded = tokenizer.decode(encoded, skip_special_tokens=True)
            match = "✓" if (text.strip() == decoded.strip() or not text) else "⚠️ (Whitespace diff)"
            print(f"  Test {i+1}: {match} | Length: {len(text)} chars -> {len(encoded)} tokens")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"  Test {i+1}: ❌ FAILED with error: {e}")

    # 2. Throughput / Speed Test
    print("\n2. Throughput Performance Test:")
    sample_text = (
        "नेपाल एक सुन्दर देश हो। यहाँ विभिन्न जातजाति र भाषाभाषीका मानिसहरू बसोबास गर्छन्। "
    ) * 500  # ~35,000 characters
    
    num_iterations = 100
    
    # Warmup
    _ = tokenizer.encode(sample_text)
    
    start_time = time.time()
    for _ in range(num_iterations):
        _ = tokenizer.encode(sample_text)
    end_time = time.time()
    
    total_time = end_time - start_time
    total_chars = len(sample_text) * num_iterations
    total_tokens = len(tokenizer.encode(sample_text)) * num_iterations
    
    print(f"  Processed {total_chars:,} characters in {total_time:.4f} seconds.")
    print(f"  Speed: {total_chars / total_time:,.2f} chars/sec")
    print(f"  Speed: {total_tokens / total_time:,.2f} tokens/sec")

    # 3. Vocabulary & Configuration Check
    print("\n3. Vocabulary & Configuration Check:")
    print(f"  Vocabulary Size: {len(tokenizer):,}")
    print(f"  Model Max Length: {getattr(tokenizer, 'model_max_length', 'N/A')}")
    print(f"  Pad Token: {tokenizer.pad_token} (ID: {tokenizer.pad_token_id})")
    print(f"  EOS Token: {tokenizer.eos_token} (ID: {tokenizer.eos_token_id})")
    print("\n--- Stress Test Complete ---")

# Execute the test
stress_test_tokenizer(tokenizer)
