Configuration

Comprehensive guide to configuring odin-prompt-toolkit: LSH parameters, embedding providers, environment variables, and optimization settings.

LSH Configuration

Customize hash generation parameters to balance precision, recall, and storage.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
familiesinteger3Number of independent hash families
bitsinteger256Bits per signature (precision)
bandsinteger16Number of bands (for LSH bucketing)

Default Configuration

use odin_prompt_toolkit::LshConfig;

// Use defaults
let config = LshConfig::default();
// families: 3, bits: 256, bands: 16

// Or customize
let config = LshConfig {
families: 5,
bits: 512,
bands: 32,
};

Parameter Tuning

Families:

  • More families → Higher recall (fewer false negatives)
  • Fewer families → Lower storage, faster queries
  • Recommended: 3-5 families for most use cases

Bits:

  • More bits → Higher precision (fewer false positives)
  • Fewer bits → Lower storage, faster comparisons
  • Recommended: 256 bits (good accuracy/storage tradeoff)

Bands:

  • More bands → Finer-grained bucketing (more buckets, smaller size)
  • Fewer bands → Coarser bucketing (fewer buckets, larger size)
  • Recommended: 16 bands (256 bits ÷ 16 = 16 bits per band)

Relationship:

bits = bands × bits_per_band
256 = 16 × 16

Storage Impact

Language-Specific Timing

Measured on Apple M4 Pro (arm64, CPU only, no GPU). Numbers are medians from 50+ repeated calls; see Reproducing These Numbers below.

note

Single-process, single-thread benchmarks. Concurrency, batch size, and hardware all affect real-world results.


① SusFactor: jailbreak classification latency

What this measures: one call to classify() — tokenize the prompt + run ONNX inference + compute softmax. Short prompt (~10 tokens). Uses the 0dinai/susfactor-e5-large-onnx model.

LanguageBackendp50p95p99Throughput
Rustort 2.x (ONNX Runtime)15.7ms18.5ms22.8ms~63 req/s
Pythononnxruntime 1.x21.4ms32.3ms40.0ms~44 req/s
TypeScriptonnxruntime-node22.2ms34.7ms53.4ms~42 req/s
Goort via CGo (ORT 1.26)~15–25ms¹~40–65 req/s¹

¹ Estimated from the same ORT 1.26 backend on equivalent hardware; exact measurement requires the CGo native libs installed locally.

Why does Rust lead? All four SDKs run the same ONNX graph through the same ORT C++ engine. The Rust advantage comes from a native tokenizer (the tokenizers crate) and zero interpreter overhead in the hot path.

Long prompts (> 510 tokens): All SDKs chunk automatically. Each 510-token chunk is one inference call; total latency scales linearly with chunk count. See Long-Prompt Chunking.


② LSH Signatures: signature generation throughput

What this measures: one call to simhash_lsh_multi() — normalize a pre-computed 384-dim embedding vector and compute 3 families × 256-bit SimHash signatures. Embedding generation is not included.

LanguageImplementationp50ThroughputNotes
RustNative (pure Rust)0.19ms~5,400/sCompiled to native code
Python (native ext)Rust extension (PyO3)~0.19ms~5,300/sSame Rust core via FFI
TypeScriptPure JS30ms~33/sJIT-compiled; no SIMD
Python (pure)Pure Python111ms~9/sFallback only; not for production
GoGo SDK is SusFactor-only; LSH not implemented

Python native acceleration (0din-prompt-toolkit-native) is a PyO3 Rust extension — bit-identical results at Rust speed. The pure-Python fallback exists for environments where the extension can't be built (see Native Acceleration guide).

Embedding Providers

OpenAI Provider (V0)

Configuration:

use odin_prompt_toolkit::providers::OpenAIProvider;

let provider = OpenAIProvider::new(
std::env::var("OPENAI_API_KEY")?,
Some("text-embedding-3-large".to_string()), // Model
Some(1536), // Dimensions
Some("openai".to_string()), // Name
);

Environment Variables:

  • OPENAI_API_KEY - Your OpenAI API key (required)
  • OPENAI_BASE_URL - Custom API endpoint (optional, for proxies or OpenAI-compatible APIs)

Cost: ~0.13per1Mtokens( 0.13 per 1M tokens (~0.000013 per prompt)

Latency: ~100-200ms (network + API)

ONNX Provider (V1)

Configuration:

use odin_prompt_toolkit::providers::{ModelCache, OnnxProvider};

let cache = ModelCache::new()?;
let provider = OnnxProvider::new(
&cache,
Some("0dinai/0din-jailbreak-embeddings-small".to_string()), // Model
Some("onnx".to_string()), // Name
0, // intra_threads (0 = auto)
2, // pool_size (concurrent ORT sessions)
).await?;

Model Cache:

Default locations:

  • Linux/macOS: ~/.cache/odin-prompt-toolkit/models/
  • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\odin-prompt-toolkit\models\

Override via environment variable:

export ODIN_PROMPT_TOOLKIT_MODEL_CACHE=/path/to/cache

Custom cache directory:

cache = ModelCache(cache_dir=Path("/custom/cache"))

Model Download:

  • First run: Auto-downloads ~150MB model
  • Subsequent runs: Loads from cache
  • No network required after first download

Cost: Free (local inference)

Latency: ~50-100ms (CPU on M1 Mac)

Advanced Configuration

CM-LSH Configuration

For advanced users needing custom CM-LSH parameters:

from odin_prompt_toolkit.cm_lsh import HybridCMLSH, HybridParams, CalibratorConfig, ITQParams

# Create custom hyperplanes
from odin_prompt_toolkit.cm_lsh import gen_hyperplanes
lsh_ts_planes = gen_hyperplanes(family=0, bits=256, dims=384)

# Create custom ITQ parameters (identity by default)
itq_params = ITQParams(
pca=[[1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0]], # PCA projection matrix
rotation=[[1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0]], # ITQ rotation matrix
mean=[0.0, 0.0], # Centering mean
)

# Create custom calibrator (identity by default)
calibrator_config = CalibratorConfig(
x_thresh=[0.0, 1.0], # Input thresholds
y_thresh=[0.0, 1.0], # Output values
x_min=0.0,
x_max=1.0,
)

# Assemble hybrid params
params = HybridParams(
lsh_ts_hyperplanes=lsh_ts_planes,
itq=itq_params,
)

# Create hasher
hasher = HybridCMLSH(
params=params,
calibrator_config=calibrator_config,
alpha=0.65, # Confidence weight
family=0,
)

When to customize:

  • Training on domain-specific data
  • Optimizing for specific similarity distributions
  • Research experiments

Most users should use createDefaultCmLsh() which provides good defaults.

Multi-Family Hashing

Generate multiple independent hash families for higher recall:

from odin_prompt_toolkit import simhash_lsh_multi, LshConfig

config = LshConfig(families=5, bits=256, bands=16)
families = simhash_lsh_multi(normalized_embedding, config=config)

# Store all 5 families
for i, family in enumerate(families):
print(f"Family {i}: {family.signature}")

Query strategy: A match in ANY family indicates similarity (OR logic).


Performance Optimization

Native Acceleration (Python)

Python includes an optional Rust extension for 500-600× speedup on core LSH functions.

Installation:

# With native acceleration
pip install 0din-prompt-toolkit

# Verify native is available
python -c "from odin_prompt_toolkit import NATIVE_AVAILABLE; print(NATIVE_AVAILABLE)"
# Output: True

Functions accelerated:

  • simhash_lsh_multi() - 653× faster
  • normalize_vector() - 592× faster
  • hamming_distance_hex() - 487× faster
  • cosine_from_hamming() - 112× faster
  • compute_embedding_sha256() - 95× faster

See Native Acceleration Guide for details.

Caching Strategies

Embedding Cache:

from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=10000)
def get_embedding(text: str):
return provider.generate_embedding(text)

Signature Cache:

signature_cache = {}

def get_signature(text: str):
if text not in signature_cache:
signature_cache[text] = sign_text(text, provider=provider)
return signature_cache[text]

Batch Processing

Process multiple texts efficiently:

import asyncio

async def batch_sign(texts: list[str], provider):
tasks = [sign_text(text, provider=provider) for text in texts]
return await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

# Process 100 texts concurrently
results = await batch_sign(texts, provider)

Configuration Best Practices

Development

  • Use ONNX provider (V1) for local development
  • Enable native acceleration in Python
  • Use default LSH config (3/256/16)

Production

High-accuracy requirements:

  • Use OpenAI provider (V0) for best embeddings
  • Consider CM-LSH for +5-10% accuracy
  • Increase families to 5 for higher recall

Cost-sensitive:

  • Use ONNX provider (V1) for free local inference
  • Use 1-2 families to reduce storage
  • Enable caching aggressively

High-throughput:

  • Use native acceleration (Python)
  • Batch signature generation
  • Optimize band-based indexing in database

Configuration Examples

Minimal Storage

# 1 family × 256 bits = 64 hex chars (32 bytes)
config = LshConfig(families=1, bits=256, bands=16)

High Recall

# 5 families × 256 bits = 320 hex chars (160 bytes)
config = LshConfig(families=5, bits=256, bands=16)

High Precision

# 3 families × 512 bits = 384 hex chars (192 bytes)
config = LshConfig(families=3, bits=512, bands=32)
# 3 families × 256 bits = 192 hex chars (96 bytes)
config = LshConfig(families=3, bits=256, bands=16)

Go Configuration

The Go SDK is SusFactor-only (no LSH signatures or embedding providers). Configure the classifier via functional options passed to NewClassifier.

Classifier Options

import "github.com/0din-ai/prompt-toolkit/packages/go/susfactor"

clf, err := susfactor.NewClassifier(ctx,
// Point at a pre-downloaded model directory (fastest, no HF download)
susfactor.WithModelDir("/path/to/susfactor-v1"),

// Or let the classifier download via ModelCache (requires HF_TOKEN for gated repo)
susfactor.WithModelCache(
susfactor.NewModelCache("~/.cache/susfactor"),
susfactor.WithHFToken(os.Getenv("HF_TOKEN")),
),

// Override the decision threshold (default 0.5)
susfactor.WithThreshold(0.7),

// Override the ORT shared library path (default: auto-detected)
susfactor.WithORTLibPath("/opt/ort/lib/libonnxruntime.so"),
)

Environment Variables

VariableDescription
ORT_LIB_PATHPath to libonnxruntime.so (overrides auto-detection)
SUSFACTOR_MODEL_DIRConvenience variable — pass its value to WithModelDir
HF_TOKENHuggingFace token for downloading the gated model

Build Variables

CGO_ENABLED=1 # Required — Go SDK uses CGo
CGO_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" # Path containing libonnxruntime.so + libtokenizers.a
ORT_LIB_PATH=/usr/local/lib/libonnxruntime.so # Passed to ort-sys at link time
