## TL;DR

Upgrade to the latest stable AutoGPT release. Upgraded to latest version with Pinecone.

## Steps

1. Upgraded to latest version with Pinecone. Prompts that worked great yesterday now break constantly. Throwing the error:

2. Failed to parse AI output, attempting to fix.
 If you see this warning frequently, it's likely that your prompt is confusing the AI. Try changing it up slightly.
 
 I'm using GPT3.5.

3. Upgrade to the latest stable AutoGPT release. One user confirmed the output-parse errors disappeared after updating, while the older workarounds (tweaking prompts and system messages to force cleaner output) only worked inconsistently. So the practical move is: update first, and skip the prompt surgery.

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.
