Embeddings precompilednormalizer equals

PrecompiledNormalizer.Equals

Value equality over the charsmap.

public bool Equals(PrecompiledNormalizer other)
public bool Equals(object obj)

Parameters — other or obj is the normalizer to compare against.

Returns — bool, true when both were built from the same charsmap bytes.

Example — two normalizers from one model's blob.

using Lodestar.Embeddings.Tokenization;

// charsMap is the precompiled_charsmap blob from the model's own spiece.model.
byte[] charsMap = File.ReadAllBytes("spiece.model");

PrecompiledNormalizer first = PrecompiledNormalizer.FromCharsMap(charsMap);
PrecompiledNormalizer second = PrecompiledNormalizer.FromCharsMap(charsMap);

bool same = first.Equals(second);

Remarks — the bytes are compared, not the object identities, so two normalizers loaded from the same model are equal. That is what makes "do these two vocabularies fold text the same way" a question you can ask, which matters when checking a saved tokenizer against a model.

The object overload is present so the type behaves in collections that compare untyped.

Applies to — net10.0, netstandard2.0.
