This should allow more easily explaining how
parse_special
affects tokenization.I felt the need for this when working on #8228, because the tokenizer tests use
parse_special = true
, but whenparse_special = false
, some tokenizers have problems which were otherwise not really easy to visualize.For example, with OLMo (which uses a tokenizer very similar to GPT-NeoX), there's a problem with tokenization of consecutive spaces:
Notice how when
parse_special = false
, the spaces don't get tokenized correctly (space prefixes, and totally different token ids for spaces), because the user-defined multi-space tokens no longer have priority in the pre-tokenization (but they should!).This is one of the problems fixed in #8228
