Empty response from model

Error

Neural Inverse: Response from model was empty.

Why this happens

The model returned a response with no content. Common causes:

• Model ran out of GPU memory mid-generation
• Request hit a content filter
• Model encountered an internal error but returned 200

Fix

1. Retry

Often a transient issue. Send the message again.

2. Check local model health

If using Ollama or vLLM:

# Check GPU memory
nvidia-smi

# Check Ollama logs
journalctl -u ollama -f

If GPU memory is full, try a smaller model or restart the server.

3. Simplify your prompt

Some models return empty responses when the prompt is ambiguous or triggers safety filters. Try rephrasing.

4. Try a different model

If one model consistently returns empty responses, switch to another. The model may be corrupted or incompatible.
