How do I resolve Phoenix Evals showing NOT PARSABLE?

NOT_PARSABLE errors often occur when LLM responses exceed the max_tokens limit or produce incomplete JSON.

Here’s how to fix it:

1. Increase max_tokens: Update the model configuration as follows:

   pythonCopy codellm_judge_model = OpenAIModel(
       api_key=getpass("Enter your OpenAI API key..."),
       model="gpt-4o-2024-08-06",
       temperature=0.2,
       max_tokens=1000,  # Increase token limit
   )
   
2. Update Phoenix: Use version ≥0.17.4, which removes token limits for OpenAI and increases defaults for other APIs.

3. Check Logs: Look for finish_reason="length" to confirm token limits caused the issue.

4. If the above doesn’t work, it’s possible the llm-as-a-judge output might not fit into the defined rails for that particular custom Phoenix eval. Double check the prompt output matches the rail expectations.
