_detokenize_delta(tokenizer, delta_token_ids, state, skip_special_tokens=True, spaces_between_special_tokens=True)

Incrementally detokenize delta_token_ids from prior stream state.

Resumes decoding from the offsets carried in state rather than replaying token history. state.prev_tokens holds the trailing decode window (from prefix_offset onward) that detokenize_incrementally still needs to reproduce any partially read multi-byte character (tracked by read_offset). The delta tokens are fed straight onto it.

The window is bounded. detokenize_incrementally never reads before prefix_offset, so after processing we trim prev_tokens to that tail and rebase the offsets to it. State transport therefore stays O(window) per chunk instead of re-sending the full token history.

Parameters:

  • tokenizer

    (TokenizerLike) –

    The tokenizer to decode with.

  • delta_token_ids

    (list[int]) –

    New token IDs from this generate chunk.

  • state

    (DerenderStreamState) –

    Client carried detok state from the previous call.

  • skip_special_tokens

    (bool, default: True ) –

    Passed through to the tokenizer.

  • spaces_between_special_tokens

    (bool, default: True ) –

    Passed through to the tokenizer.

Returns:

  • str

    (new_text, updated_state) — the delta text for this chunk and the

    state to pass to the next call.

Parameters:

    (GenerateStreamResponse) –

    One SSE chunk from /inference/v1/generate.
