Output does not appear to contain the expected comparison content" in compare.py task

Hi team,

I am attempting the lab task where we need to implement compare.py inside /root/openaiproject using the OpenAI API (openai/gpt-4.1-mini), but the validation fails with:

**Error:** Output does not appear to contain the expected comparison content.

What the task specifies:

  • Read api_key and base_url from /root/.bash_profile (or via os.environ).
  • Define compare(item1: str, item2: str) -> str.
  • Prompt the model to compare two iPhone models (iphone 13 vs iphone 17) strictly in terms of the chip used, returning only one word.
  • Model: openai/gpt-4.1-mini, max_tokens: 100, temperature: 0.5.
  • Assign the result to response and print(response).

Here is the code for comparing two items

import os
from openai import OpenAI

api_key = os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")
base_url = os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_BASE")

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=api_key,
    base_url=base_url
)

def compare(item1: str, item2: str) -> str:
    prompt = f"Compare {item1} and {item2} in terms of only the chip used. Give your response in one word only."
    completion = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="openai/gpt-4.1-mini",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
        max_tokens=100,
        temperature=0.5
    )
    return completion.choices[0].message.content.strip()

item1 = "iphone 13"
item2 = "iphone 17"

response = compare(item1, item2)
print(response)

Could you please share the name of the lab, or day number if it is from KodeKloud Engineer AI domain?

Same code is working in next attempt

Yes its KodeKloud Engineer AI domain AI Comparison Lab
