#10087
value_below_minimum_error
The specified value is less than the minimum requirement of 1 for 'max_tokens'.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The 400
status error in the OpenAI API, specifically the error message indicating that 230
is less than the minimum of 1
for max_tokens
, occurs because of the following reasons:
The
max_tokens
parameter must be at least1
. Setting it to a value less than1
violates the API's requirements, leading to a "Bad Request" error.The API expects valid and properly configured request parameters, and any invalid or out-of-range values, such as a non-positive
max_tokens
, will result in a400
status code.
Solution
To fix the 400
status error in the OpenAI API due to the max_tokens
parameter being less than the minimum of 1
, you need to ensure that your request parameters are correctly configured. Here are the key steps to resolve this issue:
Set the
max_tokens
parameter to a value of at least1
.Verify that all other request parameters, such as the API key, base URL, and headers, are correct and properly formatted.
Ensure that the total token count, including both the prompt and the
max_tokens
, does not exceed the model's context window limit.
Here are the main points to consider:
Correct
max_tokens
value: Ensure it is 1 or greater.Validate API key and headers: Make sure they are accurate and up-to-date.
Check request payload size: Ensure it does not exceed the allowed limits.
Adhere to rate limits: Avoid hitting the API too frequently to prevent rate limiting errors.
