#### Valid Parameters and Values
| Parameter | Description | Value Type | Example Usage |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------- |
| num_ctx | Sets the size of the context window used to generate the next token. (Default: 4096) | int | num_ctx 4096 |
| repeat_last_n | Sets how far back for the model to look back to prevent repetition. (Default: 64, 0 = disabled, -1 = num_ctx) | int | repeat_last_n 64 |
| repeat_penalty | Sets how strongly to penalize repetitions. A higher value (e.g., 1.5) will penalize repetitions more strongly, while a lower value (e.g., 0.9) will be more lenient. (Default: 1.1) | float | repeat_penalty 1.1 |
| temperature | The temperature of the model. Increasing the temperature will make the model answer more creatively. (Default: 0.8) | float | temperature 0.7 |
| seed | Sets the random number seed to use for generation. Setting this to a specific number will make the model generate the same text for the same prompt. (Default: 0) | int | seed 42 |
| stop | Sets the stop sequences to use. When this pattern is encountered the LLM will stop generating text and return. Multiple stop patterns may be set by specifying multiple separate `stop` parameters in a modelfile. | string | stop "AI assistant:" |
| num_predict | Maximum number of tokens to predict when generating text. (Default: -1, infinite generation) | int | num_predict 42 |
| top_k | Reduces the probability of generating nonsense. A higher value (e.g. 100) will give more diverse answers, while a lower value (e.g. 10) will be more conservative. (Default: 40) | int | top_k 40 |
| top_p | Works together with top-k. A higher value (e.g., 0.95) will lead to more diverse text, while a lower value (e.g., 0.5) will generate more focused and conservative text. (Default: 0.9) | float | top_p 0.9 |
| min_p | Alternative to the top_p, and aims to ensure a balance of quality and variety. The parameter *p* represents the minimum probability for a token to be considered, relative to the probability of the most likely token. For example, with *p*=0.05 and the most likely token having a probability of 0.9, logits with a value less than 0.045 are filtered out. (Default: 0.0) | float | min_p 0.05 |
| Parameter | Description | Value Type | Example Usage |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------- |
| mirostat | Enable Mirostat sampling for controlling perplexity. (default: 0, 0 = disabled, 1 = Mirostat, 2 = Mirostat 2.0) | int | mirostat 0 |
| mirostat_eta | Influences how quickly the algorithm responds to feedback from the generated text. A lower learning rate will result in slower adjustments, while a higher learning rate will make the algorithm more responsive. (Default: 0.1) | float | mirostat_eta 0.1 |
| mirostat_tau | Controls the balance between coherence and diversity of the output. A lower value will result in more focused and coherent text. (Default: 5.0) | float | mirostat_tau 5.0 |
| num_ctx | Sets the size of the context window used to generate the next token. (Default: 2048) | int | num_ctx 4096 |
| repeat_last_n | Sets how far back for the model to look back to prevent repetition. (Default: 64, 0 = disabled, -1 = num_ctx) | int | repeat_last_n 64 |

- the **`Modelfile` is not case sensitive**. In the examples, uppercase instructions are used to make it easier to distinguish it from arguments.
