context_length_exceeded_error
The total number of tokens exceeds the model's maximum context length. Please reduce the length of your messages or functions.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The 400 status error you're encountering in the OpenAI API is due to exceeding the maximum context length allowed by the model. Here are the key points:
The model has a maximum context length of 128,000 tokens.
Your request includes messages and functions that collectively exceed this limit, totaling 411,525 tokens (411,032 in the messages and 493 in the functions).
This exceeds the model's capacity to process the request, leading to a "Bad Request" error with a status code of 400.
Solution
To fix the 400 status error due to exceeding the maximum context length, you need to reduce the overall token count of your request. Here are some steps to achieve this:
Break down the input into chunks:
Divide your long text into smaller sections that fit within the 128,000 token limit.
Send these chunks separately, instructing the model to wait for all parts before generating the response.
Optimize the context:
Remove any unnecessary context or instructions.
Use text preprocessing techniques to reduce the size of your input without losing its meaning.
Use the messages
array efficiently:
Ensure each message in the
messages
array is below the token limit.If possible, move standard context or instructions to a separate setup, such as under "instructions" on the OpenAI website, to avoid including them in every API request.
Control the response length:
If applicable, specify the desired response length in your prompt to prevent the model from generating excessively long responses.
