Returned file contents from non-default branch is hallucinated.

Repo type: public
Auth type: email

The source printed isn't from the actual file. I believe that GPT shouldn't display source in this instance either but, should instead link to the requested file? A similar response is returned from just asking to discuss rather than display the file. The hallucinated source is also semi-relevant as the requested file does relate to database access.

GPT seems to do okay if the branch is the default.

Hi @lachlancresswell,

I've taken a look at the file from your repository, and I wanted to clarify that the issue you're encountering is not due to the custom branch but rather the size of the dbpr.ts file. The file is approximately 35k characters in length. From my tests, I've found that for the current version of ChatGPT with AskTheCode as the only enabled plugin, the maximum manageable file size is around 17k characters.

Currently, ChatGPT is powered by the GPT-4 model, which has a context window of 8k tokens. Roughly speaking, each token translates to about 3-4 characters, placing the cap near 32k characters. However, this limit must encompass the entire conversation, including system data such as:

• Compressed chat history
• Any internal custom instructions for ChatGPT
• Information about enabled plugins, their endpoints, and contracts

This means that the operational tokens available for the plugin's response and the GPT model's output are significantly fewer than 8k. When the plugin responds with a large reply, as in the case of your file's raw content, ChatGPT recognizes that it won't fit within the context as is and thus compresses the file content. The larger the file, the more aggressive the compression, leading to data loss and the "hallucinations" you've observed.

To mitigate this limitation when working with large files, I've recently released improvements to the search feature. You can now pre-search a file to list types/functions defined within it and then inquire about a specific type or function. I've prepared a demo for you to illustrate this: AskTheCode Search Feature Demo.

This functionality is quite new, and I must admit, I haven't yet created comprehensive documentation for it. Rest assured, I will be working on this.

I encourage you to try out this feature for yourself. Please reach out to me if it works for your needs or if there's a particular workflow that isn't supported through this method.

P.S. I'm currently working on the AskTheCode custom GPT, which will greatly increase the file sizes that can be processed at once.
