Startup params

I just wanted to share some experience with this model.

I tried different combinations of temp and penalties. Regular unsloth recommended presence_penalty 1.5 and/or temp 1.0 caused the model to stop an output in the middle of a message. But when I lowered presence_penalty to 0.0 and set lower temp 0.6 this issue has gone.

I was wondering what the recommended params would be?

Thanks for sharing this β€” that's actually very useful.
I've seen the same occasional premature cutoff on my side as well, where the model simply stops generating in the middle of an answer. I had suspected the cause was somewhere else, so I hadn't connected it to the sampling settings yet.
In my current Hermes/llama.cpp setup I'm not explicitly overriding temperature or presence penalty; I've mostly been letting the default/client settings handle sampling, with reasoning_effort=low.
I'm going to try your temperature 0.6 / presence_penalty 0.0 setup myself and see whether the cutoffs disappear here too. If that turns out to be reproducible, that's a really useful finding for the recommended settings.
Thanks for testing and reporting it! 😊
