Fix RequestTooLargeError

in Anthropic SDK

Solution

The RequestTooLargeError in anthropic-sdk usually occurs when the combined size of your prompt and completion exceeds the API's maximum token limit (e.g., 200k tokens for some models). To fix this, reduce the size of your prompt by summarizing or truncating it, and limit the `max_tokens_to_sample` parameter to ensure the total request stays within acceptable limits. Consider using a smaller model with a lower context window if prompt reduction isn't feasible.
