self.model_name = "your-custom-model" | |
``` | |
### **Chunk Size Optimization** | |
```python | |
# Adjust for your use case | |
max_chunk_length = 512 # Increase for longer context | |
max_chunks = 5 # Increase for larger documents | |
``` | |
### **Summary Length Tuning** | |
```python | |
# Customize summary lengths | |
summary_lengths = { | |
"brief": (20, 60), | |
"detailed": (40, 100), | |
"comprehensive": (60, 150) | |
} | |
``` | |
## π **Troubleshooting** | |
### **Common Issues** | |
