🦛 CHONK docs with Chonkie ✨ — The lightweight ingestion library for fast, efficient and robust RAG pipelines
Provides pluggable chunking strategies—recursive, semantic, code-aware, and LLM-based—with composable pipeline workflows that chain multiple chunkers and refineries together. Integrates with 32+ tools across tokenizers (GPT-2, BPE), embeddings (OpenAI, Sentence Transformers), vector databases, and LLMs, while supporting 56 languages out-of-the-box through modular dependency installation.
About SmartChunk
ayush585/SmartChunk
SmartChunk is a lightweight, structure-aware semantic chunking toolkit designed to supercharge RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and LLM pipelines. Unlike naive splitters that break text arbitrarily, SmartChunk respects document structure (headings, lists, tables, code blocks) and semantic flow, ensuring cleaner, more coherent chunks.
