Info

A significant increase in output tokens generated has been detected.

This may indicate unusually verbose responses, inefficient prompt handling, or excessive token consumption, which can impact performance, cost, and response times.

Potential Causes:

  • Inefficient prompt engineering leading to long-winded responses.
  • Misconfigured AI system generating excessive data.
  • Unintended behavior due to model fine-tuning or changes in prompt structure.
