For the error itself, Error code: 400 is an HTTP bad request error that indicates that the server cannot understand or process the request due to an some apparent client error like malformed syntax for example.

So I suggest adding a check to insure that the inputs are correctly formatted with correct error handling.

Ive also encountered a similar issue Error code: 500, which is a server side error and for that we would add a retry mechanism with exponential backoff for example, since it is a server-side HTTP error.

Also I want to point out that using OpenAIError to catch the rest of the errors when using the LLM can be missleading (especially since I was using gemini as provider), so it's better to change that.

app.llm:724 ->

except OpenAIError as oe:
            logger.error(f"OpenAI API error: {oe}")
            if isinstance(oe, AuthenticationError):
                logger.error("Authentication failed. Check API key.")
            elif isinstance(oe, RateLimitError):
                logger.error("Rate limit exceeded. Consider increasing retry attempts.")
            elif isinstance(oe, APIError):
                logger.error(f"API error: {oe}")
            raise

Error: 500 occurence in my case:
