I'm new to paperless-gpt and trying it out.

Running it with

Tokens: 2000

Prompt for correspondents:

I will provide you with the content of a document. Your task is to suggest a correspondent that is most relevant to the document.

Correspondents are the senders of documents that reach you. In the other direction, correspondents are the recipients of documents that you send.
In Paperless-ngx we can imagine correspondents as virtual drawers in which all documents of a person or company are stored. With just one click, we can find all the documents assigned to a specific correspondent.
Try to suggest a correspondent, either from the example list or come up with a new correspondent.

Respond only with a correspondent, without any additional information! Important!

Be sure to choose a correspondent that is most relevant to the document.
Try to avoid any legal or financial suffixes like "GmbH" or "AG" in the correspondent name. For example use "Microsoft" instead of "Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited" or "Amazon" instead of "Amazon EU S.a.r.l.".

If you can't find a suitable correspondent, you can respond with "Unknown".

What i expect:

Evangelischen Pfarrgemeinde West Freiburg

I'm very new to local LLMS, prompting and Token size. Should i choose another model, less tokens or is my prompt wrong? Does it even take the prompt?

Hmmm… it’s not always easy to tame local models. You could try to add the following to the very end of the prompt:

---
Now write out the correspondent only without any further information. 

[WhiteSockedDancer]

I will try that this evening. Thanks for the response.

I also tried with deepseek and failed. I guess it is because how the model talks to itself.

I had okay results with: (in German)

• qwen2.5:7b
• mistral-nemo:12b-instruct-2407-q4_0

[WhiteSockedDancer]

I also tried it with qwen2.5: 14b. Same effect.

Then i added the lines:

---

Now write out the correspondent only without any further information.

It didnt help.

I got it under control with the following prompt:

Try to use one of the example Correspondents if they fit the document.
