Overview

LLMs have fixed context window limits. This article covers strategies for handling long text scenarios.

Error Handling

try:
    response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model="gpt-4",
        messages=long_messages
    )
except openai.error.InvalidRequestError as e:
    if "maximum context" in str(e).lower():
        print("Context window exceeded")

Strategies

1. Summarization

def summarize_long_text(text: str, max_length: int = 4000) -> str:
    if len(text) <= max_length:
        return text
    summary_prompt = f"""Summarize to {max_length} chars:\n{text[:10000]}"""
    response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": summary_prompt}]
    )
    return response.choices[0].message.content

2. Sliding Window

def sliding_window_search(query, document, window_size=2000, step=500):
    chunks = []
    for i in range(0, len(document), step):
        chunk = document[i:i + window_size]
        if is_relevant(query, chunk):
            chunks.append(chunk)
    return chunks[:3]

3. Chunking

from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter

text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(
    chunk_size=2000,
    chunk_overlap=200
)
chunks = text_splitter.split_text(document)

Prevention

  1. Input validation before sending
  2. Set maximum input length limits
  3. Auto-truncation when exceeding threshold
