ai_settings.topic_prune_characters, the system default of 75,000 characters (roughly 19,000 tokens) is used instead.
Syntax
Properties
integer
The character budget for this topic’s AI field context. Must be between 10,000 and 200,000. A value outside this range is a validator error.
Behavior
Omni warns in the model validator (topic_ai_context_too_large) when a topic’s estimated AI field context exceeds its effective budget, or when the topic has more than 2,000 fields. Because the context size is an estimate rather than an exact measurement, the warning message describes it as “estimated”.
This warning only appears for topics that show AI is actually in use:
- The topic sets
ai_prune_characters ai_chat_topicsnames the topic- The model sets
ai_settings.topic_prune_characters, andai_chat_topicsdoesn’t exclude the topic
topic_ai_context_too_large won’t display if:
- The topic is over the 2,000-field limit, since only
ai_fieldsreduces the field count - Raising
ai_prune_charactersto clear the estimate would exceed 200,000
