Module behaviour on OpenAI request content is to large

[bobvanluijt]

Currently, the OpenAI module might return:

{
    'error': [
        {
            'message': "failed with status: 400 error: This model's maximum context length is 2046 tokens, however, you requested 142471 tokens (142471 in your prompt; 0 for the completion). Please reduce your prompt; or completion length."
        }
    ]
}

Can this be handled in the module? E.g., for this specific example that the 142471 token string is split into (142471/2046) 70 snippets, and a centroid is calculated and stored?

Great find! Indeed the other modules are handling this as part of the inference, I'm surprised OpenAI does not handle this server-side. Do we know if the 2046 is a global limit that we can hard-code or does this depend on the model selected?
