Output Length

One aspect of some prompts is the size of the output. This can take the form of either a word count or a specified list length

For example, a prompt might say

Write a 100 word short story about unladen swallows

For the terminal to interpret your guess you must input it in numerical form.

<guest-user-42> $ guess 3 <-- Correct

<guest-user-42> $ guess three <-- Correct

You can use the command:

run output_length

This will return the length of the output. However, sometimes GPT will stop writing before it gets to the length it was supposed to write making this command less helpful.

Instead, try using a special guess function:

guess [any_number]

If you can't tell if there was a number in the prompt, or what that number was, this might help.
