Model Pipeline - Error handling and rate limits
This pipeline shows how a generative AI system manages errors and controls the number of requests it handles to keep running smoothly and fairly.

Error handling and rate limits in Prompt Engineering / GenAI - Model Pipeline Trace
Data Flow - 5 Stages
1User Request Input
1 request→Receive user input for AI generation→1 request
User sends a prompt: 'Write a poem about spring.'
↓
2Rate Limit Check
1 request→Check if user exceeded allowed requests per minute→1 request or error
User has made 5 requests in last minute, limit is 10, so request allowed
↓
3Input Validation
1 request→Check if input is valid (not empty, no forbidden words)→Valid request or error
Prompt is non-empty and allowed content
↓
4AI Model Processing
1 valid request→Generate text based on prompt→1 generated text response
Generated poem about spring
↓
5Error Handling
1 request or error→Catch errors like invalid input or rate limit exceeded and respond with message→1 success or error message
If rate limit exceeded, respond with 'Too many requests, please wait.'

What happens if a user sends too many requests too quickly?
Key Insight
Handling errors and rate limits helps keep the AI system reliable and fair. It stops too many requests from overwhelming the system and ensures inputs are safe before generating responses.
