This article shows the incorrect value for the OpenAI text-embedding-3-large Input Limit as 3072 which is actually its output limit [1]. The correct value is 8191 [2].

Edit: This value has now been fixed in the article.

Also, what each model means by a token can be very different due to the use of different model-specific encodings, so ultimately one must compare the number of characters, not tokens.



"Reckless" seems a bit aggressive for what is likely an honest mistake in an otherwise very nice article.


Edited.
