Repository: Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT (Python)
Task: Bug Fix

Issue:
 COMMAND = list_files - openai.error.InvalidRequestError: This model's maximum context length is 4097 tokens
### ⚠️ Search for existing issues first ⚠️

- [X] I have searched the existing issues, and there is no existing issue for my problem

### Which Operating System are you using?

Docker

### Which version of Auto-GPT are you using?

Master (branch)

### GPT-3 or GPT-4?

GPT-3.5

### Steps to reproduce 🕹

listing the auto_gpt_workspace folder errors out. maybe this is an erroneous bug, not really sure, but why is it calling openai when it's merely listing the files in the folder?

openai.error.InvalidRequestError: This model's maximum context length is 4097 tokens. However, your messages resulted in 4819 tokens. Please reduce the length of the messages.

### Current behavior 😯

listing the folder contents errors out and kills the program if there's too many files in there.

### Expected behavior 🤔

not ... error out :D

Discussion:
I also encountered the same problem and couldn't continue the project
It's coming from updating memory summary. That appears to be a global behaviour. Your are constrained by 4096 tokens context window given the model you are using - likely gpt 3.5 - if you used gpt-4, you would not error out here. I can think of adding chunking for a certain class of commands?

i've already set the token limit to 4000 since i am on GPT3.5, but it's not working, so idk.

```
### LLM MODEL SETTINGS
## FAST_TOKEN_LIMIT - Fast token limit for OpenAI (Default: 4000)

 same, not sure if I was running GPT3 only tough
I am experiencing the same behavior since i updated to version 3.0
I got this error also in the latest stable branch v0.3.0 
Same here on the latest version can't move forward building 
Same here
Same question
I am new to this i think i have the exact same issue as its the last request i will post all of it here just in case im missing something. Thanks everyone

Same problem with any branch ( Master or Stable 0.3.0/0.2.2 )
I cant move project with this... Same problem
Thanks"
I am currently working on a possible fix for this, as in theory I think this is caused by total tokens in request for gpt3 model. There is a 'send_token_limit' variable that is currently subtracting 1000 to retain for the response request. I am testing out 1500 for this to see if it still errors. I am shooting in the dark here, but I will let you all know if this resolves the issue or not.
Hi Guys, have the same issue. the number of tokens can be significantly higher. workin for hours on a solution....unfortunately without success so far. 

openai.error.InvalidRequestError: This model's maximum context length is 4097 tokens. However, your messages resulted in 25424 tokens. Please reduce the length of the messages.


Same problem here since I upgrade to 0.3.0... why is the agent sending messages longer than 4000?
It's a hard limit imposed by openai
Same issue here
Same issue when i update to 0.3.0

i have same problem, 
when i use langchain DB_chain to query mysql database.

 This model's maximum context length is 4097 tokens, however you requested 4582 tokens (4326 in your prompt; 256 for the completion). Please reduce your prompt; or completion length.

The same problem, but I have a slightly different error message, as: `openai.error.InvalidRequestError: This model's maximum context length is 8191 tokens, however you requested 10549 tokens (10549 in your prompt; 0 for the completion). Please reduce your prompt; or completion length.`
I tried to catch the exception. Works on some occasions but it seems to cause other issues or the program terminates since the response is none. In general, this issue is one of the biggest issues in autogpt currently. You basically can't use it since it breaks down every 2 seconds depending on the task you have given it.

HI All, so I searched a bit and basically what has to be done is this, but of course adapted to autoGPT: (see also here https://blog.devgenius.io/how-to-get-around-openai-gpt-3-token-limits-b11583691b32) 

def break_up_file(tokens, chunk_size, overlap_size):
    if len(tokens) <= chunk_size:
        yield tokens
    else:
        chunk = tokens[:chunk_size]
        yield chunk
        yield from break_up_file(tokens[chunk_size-overlap_size:], chunk_size, overlap_size)

def break_up_file_to_chunks(filename, chunk_size=2000, overlap_size=100):
    with open(filename, 'r') as f:
        text = f.read()
    tokens = word_tokenize(text)
    return list(break_up_file(tokens, chunk_size, overlap_size))


def convert_to_detokenized_text(tokenized_text):
    prompt_text = " ".join(tokenized_text)
    prompt_text = prompt_text.replace(" 's", "'s")
    return detokenized_text


filename = "/content/drive/MyDrive/Colab Notebooks/minutes/data/Round_22_Online_Kickoff_Meeting.txt"

prompt_response = []
chunks = break_up_file_to_chunks(filename)

for i, chunk in enumerate(chunks):
    prompt_request = "Summarize this meeting transcript: " + convert_to_detokenized_text(chunks[i])
    response = openai.Completion.create(
            model="text-davinci-003",
            prompt=prompt_request,
            temperature=.5,
            max_tokens=500,
            top_p=1,
            frequency_penalty=0,
            presence_penalty=0
    )
    
    prompt_response.append(response["choices"][0]["text"].strip())
found some interesting solutions for the issue...if you look outside autogpt the issue is also well known.

Should this part of the [text.py](autogpt/processing/text.py) prevent this?

I have been consistently getting this and the JSON error. 

I thought changing (i.e. de-commenting) the below in the .env file appears to have resolved the token length issue. 
**UPDATED: it did not resolve the error.**

running on Docker, gpt3only 

EMBEDDING_MODEL=text-embedding-ada-002
EMBEDDING_TOKENIZER=cl100k_base
EMBEDDING_TOKEN_LIMIT=8191

**UPDATE: My experiment ultimately did not work as expected, and the dev team should consider using chunks.**

I'm running locally with automatic coding disabled (not in Docker).

Here's my commit reference: commit 3d494f1032f77884f348ba0e89cfe0fd5022f9f4 (HEAD -> stable, tag: v0.3.1, origin/stable)

In my case, the error is caused by the function `create_chat_completion` on line 55 of `Auto-GPT\autogpt\llm\api_manager.py`. I believe the message list exceeds Open API's expected input. I added some hard-coded message limits to see if it would fix the issue. I will let you know if this works or not.

thank you for working on this, let us know if your solution works out.
HI

I am brand new to autogpt and only set it up yesterday.

I have this issue!  Does anyone yet have a fix?
Same here for exceeding 4097 tokens.  None of my agents will finish a task.  They all blow up with this error at some point and then I see what I can salvage from the files created.  
### This has been reported numerous times across multiple issues, and the core contributors are already aware of and working on it.

That said...

Through trial and error, and as previously mentioned, I also believe the optimal solution lies in segmenting the requests into "chunks," akin to the method employed by the Superpower ChatGPT plugin. I will explain.

With ChatGPT 3.5, a token budget of 4097 is allocated, which can be utilized for either input, output or a combination of both.

The issue arises when Auto-GPT transmits a considerable volume of data, consuming all the allocated tokens, and leaving none for the response. Alternatively, truncating the data sent to ChatGPT results in errors during the response creation and handling.

Therefore, the proposed fix involves identifying the total token count using a tokenizer on the input text, dividing the request into segments or 'chunks,' appending the pre and post-sections, and progressively submitting them until the quota is exhausted. The submission would be divided into 'X' parts, where 'X' is a factor of (4000 - pre/post section token length).

For instance, here's how Superpower ChatGPT effectively implements this strategy:

```text
Act like a document/text loader until you load and remember the content of the next text/s or document/s.
There might be multiple files, each file is marked by name in the format ### DOCUMENT NAME.
I will send them to you in chunks. Each chunk starts will be noted as [START CHUNK x/TOTAL], and the end of this chunk will be noted as [END CHUNK x/TOTAL], where x is the number of current chunks, and TOTAL is the number of all chunks I will send you.
I will split the message in chunks, and send them to you one by one. For each message follow the instructions at the end of the message.
Let's begin:

[START CHUNK 1/2]

... THE CHUNK CONTENT GOES HERE ...

[END CHUNK 1/2]
Reply with OK: [CHUNK x/TOTAL]
Don't reply with anything else!
```

If anyone is working on a patch, I'd definitely give it a whirl.  Not at a point right now (commitment and time wise) to work on one...even with Copilot and ChatGPT as my pair programming buddy!

just leaving a +1 here 

needs core devs to work on a way to chunk - oh and thanks to them for helping a bunch of us - this is a challenging one as it stops workflow of agents (ie no recovery)

openai.error.InvalidRequestError: This model's maximum context length is 4097 tokens. However, your messages resulted in 5394 tokens. Please reduce the length of the messages.
Same issue :(
The tool became totally unusable 
Any solution?
Same here. Now trying 0.4, but still get the fatal error "This model's maximum context length is 4097 tokens" each time I try diferent --manual goals or automatic prompt
> Same here. Now trying 0.4, but still get the fatal error "This model's maximum context length is 4097 tokens" each time I try diferent --manual goals or automatic prompt

what are the goals that you guys usually give?
I think the issue is that the devs have not integrated tiktoken into the platform, this is why this is happening.

TikToken will basically count the tokens needed to send your request and then we can automatically adjust the max tokens we send openAI so that it does not try to send back a response that would exceed the max token count for your model. Also there should be some left unused to accommodate the small margin of error tik token can produce.

We have developed an AutoGPT UI that we are about to release opensource and we are debating on integrating tiktoken and filing a pull request to bring it into the platform but we dont want to duplicate the effort if the core dev team is already working this.
BRUTAL fix : either substring messages to 4000 lengh, or use OpenAI to do summarize.

for summarizing here is the code which i made in function create_chat_completion in file api_manager.py

```
def summarise(self, conversation) -> str:
        """
        Summarises the conversation history.
        :param conversation: The conversation history
        :return: The summary
        """
        messages = [
            { "role": "assistant", "content": "Summarize this conversation in 2000 characters or less" },
            { "role": "user", "content": str(conversation) }
        ]
        response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
            model=self.config['model'],
            messages=messages,
            temperature=0.1
        )
        return response.choices[0]['message']['content']

```

and in create_chat_completion i made this:

        `#fix length
        sumlen=0
        strmess=""
        for mess in messages:
            sumlen=sumlen+len(mess.content)
            strmess = strmess + " "+mess.content
        if sumlen>=4000:
            #summarize
            summary = self.summarise(strmess)
            response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
                deployment_id=deployment_id,
                model=model,
                messages=summary,
                temperature=temperature,
                max_tokens=max_tokens,
                api_key=cfg.openai_api_key,
            )
            return response`
HI

I couldn't get this to work, could you paste the full file of your api_manager.py so i can copy/paste?
