JavaScript/TypeScript Implementation of LLMLingua-2 (Experimental)

LLMLingua-2, Originally developed and implemented in Python by Microsoft, is a small-size yet powerful prompt compression method.

• Efficient: Compresses context prompts with BERT sized models.
• Accurate: Achieves high accuracy then other methods while requiring less computational resources.

llmlingua-2-js, ported by atjsh, is a pure JavaScript/TypeScript implementation of LLMLingua-2, designed to run in web browsers and Node.js environments.

• Performance: Everything can be done in the browser. If your environment supports WebGPU, you can use it. Server-side processing is not required by default.
• Correctness: The original logic will be ported to TypeScript as accurately as possible.

Try Demo Online (No Installation Required)

You can try it on the GitHub Pages without any installation.

The source code for demo is available in the examples directory. You can run it locally using the following command:

cd examples/react-vite-webgpu
yarn install

Getting Started

This implementation depends on the following libraries:

• @huggingface/transformers
• @tensorflow/tfjs
• js-tiktoken

Especially, the @huggingface/transformers library utilizes various computational optimizations to achieve high performance. Please consult if the running environment supports the minimum requirements from these libraries.

Installation

You can use the library by downloading the library from npm and importing it into your JavaScript/TypeScript project.

First, install the dependencies:

npm install @huggingface/transformers @tensorflow/tfjs js-tiktoken

Then, install the library:

npm install @atjsh/llmlingua-2

Model Selection

You can choose between models based on your needs.

Model	Size	Pros	Cons	Public Model
TinyBERT	57.1 MB	Very small, fast	Lower accuracy than larger models	atjsh/llmlingua-2-js-tinybert-meetingbank
MobileBERT	99.2 MB	Small, optimized for mobile	Moderate accuracy, tradeoff in depth	atjsh/llmlingua-2-js-mobilebert-meetingbank
BERT	710 MB	Faster, smaller size	Lower accuracy than XLM-RoBERTa	Arcoldd/llmlingua4j-bert-base-onnx
XLM-RoBERTa	2240 MB	High accuracy	Slower, slightly larger in size	atjsh/llmlingua-2-js-xlm-roberta-large-meetingbank

Learn More about the performance of each model (actual performance may vary).

The model files will be downloaded automatically by default.
