i wrote something similar for this purpose, but much simpler and in 2kb, without AI, about a year ago.

uWrap.js: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43583478. it did not reach 11k stars overnight, tho :D

for ASCII text, mine finishes in 80ms, while pretext takes 2200ms. i haven't yet checked pretext for accuracy (how closely it matches the browser), but will test tonight - i expect it will do well.

let's see how close pretext can get to 80ms (or better) without adopting the same tricks.

there are already significant perf improvement PRs open right now, including one done using autoresearch.
