What the Data for This Category Looks Like
Carbon steel financing daily report data is sourced from domestic steel industry public trading monitoring platforms, steel plant production and sales reporting systems, and industry statistics from the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. Full data for the previous trading day is updated daily at midnight. Each daily report document is grouped by carbon steel varieties. It includes fields such as daily settlement price, previous trading day's settlement price, total inventory in major national warehouses, steel plant ex-factory price, and trader quotation range. The price unit is yuan/ton, and the inventory unit is 10,000 tons. No percentage-based statistical items are included.
Constraints Imposed by These Characteristics on Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering
The multi-turn dialogue and prompt engineering configuration for carbon steel financing daily reports must match its data characteristics. First, daily updated full data requires multi-turn dialogue to clearly define time ranges. This prevents the model from using outdated data. Second, the document structure grouped by varieties requires prompt engineering to support layered refinement of variety dimensions. Users can ask follow-up questions moving from general carbon steel categories to specific sub-categories. Third, the multi-field content structure requires prompt engineering to clearly specify which fields to output. This stops the model from omitting required fields or adding irrelevant information. Fourth, single documents have moderate length but a large number of varieties. This means recall parameters must adapt to the context carrying capacity of multiple entries, avoiding content truncation from exceeding window limits.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Suggested Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
maxContext | 8000–12000 characters | A single carbon steel financing daily report document is approximately 3000 characters. Multi-turn dialogue needs to retain 3 rounds of context, so the total window must cover all context and recalled content |
recallCount | Top 8–10 entries | Carbon steel daily reports cover 8-10 mainstream trading varieties. Recalling 8 entries covers major business scenarios |
rerankThreshold | 0.72–0.78 | Carbon steel data has caliber differences across platforms. A higher threshold filters irrelevant cross-category data |
streamResponse | Enabled | Financing daily report data has strong timeliness. Streaming output displays information incrementally to improve interaction experience |
excludeMetadata | ["id", "updateTime"] | Prevents internal identifiers and update times of knowledge base paragraphs from appearing in final outputs, aligning with business scenario requirements |
The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: After adjusting
recallCountto above 2000, the model output does not reference any recalled knowledge base content. Cause: The prompt does not explicitly require "must generate responses based on recalled content", or the prompt does not limit the scope of referenced fields. - Phenomenon: After enabling
streamResponse, the conversation interface has no streaming output effect. Cause: The streaming rendering switch is not enabled in the front-end deployment process, or the interface return format is not configured for streaming mode. - Phenomenon: Recalled knowledge base content still includes paragraph id fields. Cause: The
excludeMetadataparameter is not configured correctly, or the metadata field name does not match the configured one.
How to Confirm Correct Configuration
- Initiate a query that includes specific carbon steel varieties and dates, check whether the output content includes the corresponding fields and no non-carbon steel category data appears.
- Adjust the
recallCountparameter, check whether the number of recalled results matches the configured value. - Enable
streamResponse, check whether the conversation interface outputs content word by word gradually. - View the metadata of knowledge base paragraphs, confirm that the excluded fields configured do not appear in the final output.
