Date: March 2025
Scope: Prompt + API behavior (PRO version)
Status: ✅ Live & stable

🧠 Context

We noticed that OpenAI was rejecting or truncating a significant number of requests on the PRO prompt. These issues were mostly due to complexity, ambiguous instructions, and high token load.

This update introduces a set of improvements to increase response success, stability, and usability — without sacrificing the core value of the advanced optimization.

🔄 What Changed

1. Prompt Simplification

• Reduced overall length and complexity of the prompt instructions.

• Removed vague or redundant wording that could confuse the model.

• Focused on direct and structured outputs.

2. Content Truncation Limit

• Max input content reduced from 8000 → 6000 characters.

• Goal: prevent excessive token usage and improve model processing reliability.

3. Simplified JSON Output Structure

• Removed deeply nested or lower-priority fields:

  • topicCoherence, readabilityMetrics, aiComparison

• Flattened objects like structureReview and linkingSuggestions.

• Kept all core fields intact (summary, entities, meta, schema, etc.)

4. Clearer Instructions for Output Format

• Explicitly required:

  • "Return only valid JSON"

  • No explanations, markdown, or code blocks

• Greatly improved compatibility with response parsing.

5. API Parameter Optimization

• Reduced max_tokens from 4000 → 3000

• Maintained temperature at 0.7 to balance structure and creativity

6. Improved Error Handling

• Improved fallback logic and error messages in the API layer.

• Logs now include part of the raw OpenAI response for better debugging.

• Partial results support under evaluation for future release.

✅ Outcome

• Significantly fewer 400/500 errors from OpenAI.

• Higher rate of complete and valid responses.

• More stable experience for PRO users while retaining the core depth of analysis.
