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
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
families | integer | 3 | Number of independent hash families |
bits | integer | 256 | Bits per signature (precision) |
bands | integer | 16 | Number of bands (for LSH bucketing) |
Default Configuration
- Rust
- Python
- TypeScript
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,
};
from odin_prompt_toolkit import LshConfig
# Use defaults
config = LshConfig()
# families=3, bits=256, bands=16
# Or customize
config = LshConfig(families=5, bits=512, bands=32)
import { LshConfig } from '@0din/prompt-toolkit';
// Use defaults (pass undefined or omit config)
const config = { families: 3, bits: 256, bands: 16 };
// Or customize
const config = { 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
| Configuration | Hex Chars | Bytes | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 families × 256 bits | 192 | 96 | Default, good balance |
| 5 families × 256 bits | 320 | 160 | Higher recall |
| 3 families × 512 bits | 1024 | 192 | Higher precision |
| 1 family × 256 bits | 64 | 32 | Minimal storage |
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.
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.
| Language | Backend | p50 | p95 | p99 | Throughput |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rust | ort 2.x (ONNX Runtime) | 15.7ms | 18.5ms | 22.8ms | ~63 req/s |
| Python | onnxruntime 1.x | 21.4ms | 32.3ms | 40.0ms | ~44 req/s |
| TypeScript | onnxruntime-node | 22.2ms | 34.7ms | 53.4ms | ~42 req/s |
| Go | ort 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.
| Language | Implementation | p50 | Throughput | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rust | Native (pure Rust) | 0.19ms | ~5,400/s | Compiled to native code |
| Python (native ext) | Rust extension (PyO3) | ~0.19ms | ~5,300/s | Same Rust core via FFI |
| TypeScript | Pure JS | 30ms | ~33/s | JIT-compiled; no SIMD |
| Python (pure) | Pure Python | 111ms | ~9/s | Fallback only; not for production |
| Go | — | — | — | Go 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).

- Rust
- Python
- TypeScript
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("openai".to_string()), // Name
);
from odin_prompt_toolkit.providers import OpenAIProvider
import os

baseURL: undefined, // Custom API URL (optional)
});
Environment Variables:
OPENAI_API_KEY- Your OpenAI API key (required)OPENAI_BASE_URL- Custom API endpoint (optional, for proxies or OpenAI-compatible APIs)
Cost: ~0.000013 per prompt)
Latency: ~100-200ms (network + API)
ONNX Provider (V1)
Configuration:
- Rust
- Python
- TypeScript
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?;
from odin_prompt_toolkit.providers import ModelCache, OnnxProvider
cache = ModelCache()
provider = await OnnxProvider.new(
cache,
model_name="0dinai/0din-jailbreak-embeddings-small", # Optional
name="onnx", # Optional
)
import { ModelCache, OnnxProvider } from '@0din/prompt-toolkit/providers';
const cache = new ModelCache();
const provider = await OnnxProvider.create(
cache,
'0dinai/0din-jailbreak-embeddings-small', // Optional
'onnx' // Optional
);
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)
Environment Variables
Provider Configuration
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
OPENAI_API_KEY | OpenAI API authentication key | None (required for OpenAI) |
OPENAI_BASE_URL | Custom OpenAI API endpoint | https://api.openai.com/v1 |
ODIN_PROMPT_TOOLKIT_MODEL_CACHE | ONNX model cache directory | OS-specific (see above) |
Python-Specific
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
ODIN_PROMPT_TOOLKIT_NO_NATIVE | Disable native Rust extension | false |
Use Case: Force pure-Python mode (for debugging or platforms without native builds)
export ODIN_PROMPT_TOOLKIT_NO_NATIVE=1
python your_script.py # Uses pure Python, no native acceleration
Advanced Configuration
CM-LSH Configuration
For advanced users needing custom CM-LSH parameters:
- Python
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:
- Python
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× fasternormalize_vector()- 592× fasterhamming_distance_hex()- 487× fastercosine_from_hamming()- 112× fastercompute_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:
- Python
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)
Balanced (Recommended)
# 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
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
ORT_LIB_PATH | Path to libonnxruntime.so (overrides auto-detection) |
SUSFACTOR_MODEL_DIR | Convenience variable — pass its value to WithModelDir |
HF_TOKEN | HuggingFace 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
