What the data for this category looks like
Energy metal data primarily comes from commodity spot trading platforms, futures exchange market APIs, and industry monitoring institutions. Two update schedules are used: intraday high-frequency quotes and daily closing reports. Intraday quotes update every 10 to 20 minutes. Daily reports are released within one hour after the end of that day’s trading session. A single-variety daily report document includes fields such as contract code, variety name, daily opening price, daily highest price, daily lowest price, settlement price, daily trading volume, and position volume. Price units are yuan per ton. Trading volume and position volume units are trading lots.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on multi-turn dialogue and prompting?
Energy metal data’s high update frequency and multiple data fields create clear constraints for multi-turn dialogue and prompt configuration. First, intraday market data has strong timeliness. Prompts must explicitly require calling real-time market APIs to fetch the latest data, and avoid relying on expired knowledge base caches. Second, a single daily report contains multiple types of trading data fields. Prompts must specify the exact fields to extract, to prevent returning redundant or mismatched information. Third, contract parameters for different energy metal varieties have minor differences. Multi-turn dialogue must guide users to clearly specify the target variety and contract type, to avoid confusing market data across different categories.
How to set configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
maxContext | 8000–12000 characters | Energy metal single daily report data volume is relatively large. Multi-turn dialogue needs to retain multi-round interactions and historical data references, to avoid context overflow |
REALTIME_DATA_TIMEOUT | 30 seconds | Commodity market API response speed is stable. This timeout setting prevents long waits that cause dialogue lag |
RECALL_TOP_K | Top 3 entries | Energy metal daily report data structure is uniform. A small number of precise recalls can cover user query needs, and avoid redundant information interference |
PROMPT_TEMPLATE_TYPE | Custom template | Prompts must be customized for energy metal fields and update rules, to adapt to multi-turn dialogue requirements for field extraction and real-time data calls |
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE | 50 MB | The file size of a single energy metal annual daily report collection is usually small. This limit prevents parsing failures caused by uploading overly large files |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 120 seconds | Parsing batch energy metal data files requires a longer time, to avoid interrupting the parsing process due to timeout |
The parameter values provided on this page are all common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three common configuration errors
- API-generated replies will superimpose the previous round’s output content onto the variable results of the later round, leading to duplicate fields or redundant information. This occurs when the prompt does not explicitly define context variable isolation rules, or when a reasonable window size is not configured for
maxContext, causing historical context to be incorrectly reused. - After configuring
INPUT_GUIDEand a word bank, the preset guided question options do not display in the dialogue interface. This happens when the input guide switch for the dialogue interface is not enabled, or when the word bank’s trigger rules do not match the preconditions of user input. - After uploading an XLSX-format energy metal data file to the knowledge base, the system prompts that it cannot read the file when asked to repeat the file content in a dialogue. This occurs when the XLSX file parsing plugin is not enabled, or when the file contains non-standard formats such as merged cells or hidden worksheets, causing the parsing process to fail.
How to verify correct configuration
- Initiate a test dialogue that includes a real-time market query, and verify that the returned fields match the fields specified in the preset prompt.
- Upload a standard-format energy metal XLSX file, test the knowledge base parsing function, and confirm that the file content can be recalled normally after parsing.
- After configuring input guides and word banks, enter the dialogue interface, and check that the preset guided question options are displayed.
- Call the API to initiate multi-round interaction, and verify that each round of output results does not superimpose redundant content from previous rounds, and that context isolation meets expectations.
