Why Does GPT-4-1106-Preview Reject a 6000 max_tokens Setting?

The error indicates that while the overall model might support a large context (e.g., 128K tokens), the maximum allowed tokens for the completion (the output of the model) is currently capped at 4096 tokens. In your request, you're asking for 6000 completion tokens, which exceeds this limit.

To fix the error, reduce the value of max_tokens to 4096 or fewer. Here's an example on how to adjust your API call:

PYTHONCopied
import openai

response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="gpt-4-1106-preview",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Your message here..." }
    ],
    max_tokens=4096  # Ensure this is within the allowed limit
)

If you need more output tokens than 4096, you'll have to generate the response in multiple parts or wait for an updated model that supports higher completion limits.
