Improvement: Make Token Controls More Atomic and Sophisticated #3
Description
Overview
Enhance token management to be more granular, atomic, and sophisticated in handling token limits and context window management.
Goals
- Implement atomic token operations
- Better token reservation and tracking
- More sophisticated context window management
- Improved error handling for token-related issues
Current State
Token management exists but could be more sophisticated:
- Basic token counting
- Simple capacity checks
- Context window adjustment
- Summarization on overflow
Proposed Enhancements
-
Atomic Token Operations
- Token reservation system (reserve tokens before processing)
- Atomic token updates
- Transaction-like token operations
- Rollback capabilities for failed requests
-
Granular Token Tracking
- Per-user token tracking
- Per-conversation token tracking
- Token usage analytics
- Token budget management
-
Sophisticated Context Window Management
- Predictive context window sizing
- Dynamic context window adjustment based on usage patterns
- Intelligent summarization triggers (before hitting limits)
- Context window optimization strategies
-
Token Quotas and Limits
- Per-user token quotas
- Rate limiting based on token usage
- Token budget enforcement
- Graceful degradation when approaching limits
-
Better Error Handling
- More informative token-related error messages
- Token usage reporting in errors
- Suggestions for reducing token usage
- Recovery strategies
-
Token Optimization
- Automatic message truncation strategies
- Intelligent message prioritization
- Token-efficient summarization
- Compression techniques
Benefits
- More predictable token usage
- Better resource management
- Improved error messages and user experience
- More efficient context window utilization
Technical Considerations
- Token counting accuracy
- Context window API interactions
- Summarization API
- Performance impact of token tracking
