Token Usage Profiler
A CLI tool to analyze and profile token usage in prompts sent to language models. It identifies high-frequency tokens, calculates token distribution across prompt sections, and highlights areas for optimization. This helps developers reduce model costs and improve performance by crafting more efficient prompts.
What It Does
- Analyze token usage in a given text prompt.
- Identify high-frequency tokens.
- Provide optimization suggestions to reduce token usage.
- Generate a tabular report summarizing the analysis.
Installation
Save the script token_usage_profiler.py to your local machine.
Usage
Run the script from the command line with the following syntax:
python token_usage_profiler.py --input <path_to_prompt_file>Example
Suppose you have a file prompt.txt with the following content:
This is a test prompt. This is a test prompt.Run the tool as follows:
python token_usage_profiler.py --input prompt.txtThe output will be a tabular report like this:
+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
| Metric | Value |
+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
| Total Tokens | 10 |
| High-Frequency Tokens | |
| Token ID 1 | 4 |
| Token ID 2 | 3 |
| Token ID 3 | 3 |
| Optimization Suggestions | |
| - | High-frequency tokens detected. Consider |
| | rephrasing to reduce repetition. |
