LLaMA 3 tokenizer runs in the browser

Web site created using create-react-app

LLaMA 3 tokenizer runs in the browser launched on April 21, 2024 with 10 votes, #1,165 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

In plain words

This is a browser-based tokenizer for LLaMA 3, the large language model. It lets users run tokenization directly in their web browser without needing server infrastructure. The tool is designed for developers and researchers working with LLaMA 3 who want to understand how text is converted into tokens. What stands out is its accessibility—the tokenizer operates entirely client-side, making it fast and private for experimentation.

    TokenDagger is a drop-in replacement for OpenAI’s Tiktoken (the tokenizer behind Llama 3, Mistral, GPT-3.*, etc.). It’s written in C++ 17 with thin Python bindings, keeps the exact same BPE vocab/special-token rules, and focuses on raw speed. I’m teaching myself LLM internals by re-implementing the stack from first principles. Profiling TikToken’s Python/Rust implementation showed a lot of time was spent doing regex matching. Most of my perf gains come from a) using a faster jit-compiled regex engine; and b) simplifying the algorithm to forego regex matching special tokens at all.…

    Hey HN, I made Browser-Use, an open-source tool that lets (all Langchain supported) LLMs execute tasks directly in the browser just with function calling. It allows you to build agents that interact with web elements using natural language prompts. We created a layer that simplifies website interaction for LLMs by extracting xPaths and interactive elements like buttons and input fields (and other fancy things). This enables you to design custom web automation and scraping functions without manual inspection through DevTools. Hasn't this been done a lot of times? Good question, as a general…
