LLM Encode API / Give context a clear contract

Text in. Useful context out.

Plan LLM input preparation with explicit tokenizer identity, context budgets, formatting, and visible truncation decisions.

View the reference Explore workflows

LLM encoding is not video compression. It concerns preparing text using a specific tokenizer and input configuration. Preserve source relationships, count the complete prepared request, and make omitted material visible to the application.

Pin the configuration

Record the tokenizer, model configuration, and formatting revision. Test changes using the same reference inputs.

Budget the whole request

Account for instructions, source passages, formatting, and an output allowance under your chosen model’s actual requirements.

Preserve information intentionally

Define normalization and truncation policies. Test multilingual content, code, empty inputs, and near-limit requests.

MAKE SUCCESS OBSERVABLE

Your output checklist.

Use these as planning prompts. Adapt the acceptance conditions to your actual source and destination.

  • Identified tokenizer and revision
  • Complete prepared-input measurement
  • Explicit omission policy
  • Representative text test suite
