context_length_error
The request exceeds the model"s maximum context length. Please reduce the length of the messages or completion.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The error you are encountering, specifically the "400" status code with the message "This model's maximum context length is 16385 tokens. However, your messages resulted in 31228 tokens. Please reduce the length of the messages," indicates that the total length of the input messages (including the prompt and any context or previous messages) exceeds the maximum allowed context length for the model you are using.
Here are the key reasons for this error:
Exceeding Maximum Context Length: The model has a specific limit on the total number of tokens it can process in a single request (in this case, 16385 tokens). Your input messages collectively exceed this limit, resulting in the error.
Invalid Request Configuration: The error suggests that the API request is not properly configured in terms of the length of the messages being sent, leading to a "Bad Request" response from the server.
Solution
To fix the error caused by exceeding the model's maximum context length, you need to adjust the length of your input messages. Here are some concise solutions:
Reduce the length of the input messages by truncating or summarizing the context and previous conversations. This will ensure that the total token count does not exceed the model's limit.
Split the input text into smaller chunks and process them separately.
Remove unnecessary context or condense the information to fit within the allowed token limit.
Use a more concise prompt and limit the number of previous messages included in the request.
Implement a mechanism to handle and manage context length dynamically, ensuring it stays within the model's limits.
