Generating Longer Article Content

Problem: I want to use LLMs to generate articles of 5000-6000 words, but each attempt only produces articles of 1000-1500 words.

Reason: LLM models have context window length limitations, with a fixed limit on the total number of tokens for input and output combined in each request. Therefore, each generation result encounters an upper limit of 1000-1500 words. The recommended workaround is to break down the intended article structure and generate content chapter by chapter.

Solution: If it's not possible to generate a 5000-6000 word article in one go, you can pre-plan a five-chapter structure in your input instructions, then generate content sequentially according to the chapter order, ultimately achieving the goal of producing a 5000-6000 word article.

How to Solve AI Forgetting Training Content

📝 Inquiry:

I'd like to ask a follow-up question: If we adopt a "layer-by-layer prompt optimization" approach to improve AI performance, might we encounter the following situation: After multiple rounds of prompt optimization, the AI does learn the relevant skills and performs well, but after some time, it forgets these trained capabilities?

I want to understand whether current mainstream AI model platforms all have stable memory retention capabilities - that is, can they continuously remember the training prompts and guidance we've previously provided?

Sometimes I feel that AI's memory seems unstable. During the same project, content and requirements that I've already explained to the AI in detail need to be re-explained from scratch after a while, which makes me question the continuity of AI learning.

💬 Response:

Indeed, early AI models, due to shorter context window limitations, were prone to drifting from their original settings. When I encounter such situations, I usually choose to start a completely new conversation and restart the entire interaction process.

Current AI models should have significant improvements in this regard. If this conversation's results are satisfactory, I suggest you can give the AI an instruction to summarize and consolidate the entire conversation process, integrating the accumulated interaction principles and experiences from the dialogue into the initial prompt:

Assuming I want to start a new conversation to discuss the same topic, please suggest what complete prompt I should use.

This prompt needs to include important content from our entire discussion process:
(1) The core problems and objectives that the original prompt aimed to solve
(2) Important aspects and details related to the original problem that the initial solution method didn't fully consider
