"The simplest solution is to truncate the input text to the maximum allowed length. Because the context length is measured in tokens, we have to first tokenize the text before truncating it. The API accepts inputs both in the form of text or tokens, so as long as you are careful that you are using the appropriate encoding, there is no need to convert the tokens back into string form. Below is an example of such a truncation function."
